Description:

Carte-de-visite of Claudine Rhett. She is wearing a bolero jacket style bodice with bow embelleishments, a large cross is at her neck, and large earrings dangle from her ears. Her hair is curled in ringlets with the front, top, and sides pulled back loosely towards the crown. Photographer's stamp on reverse, "S. Anderson, Photographs 183 Canal Street, New Orleans, La. No. 11847." Rhett gave this image to her sister-in-law, Henrietta Aiken Rhett with a handwritten inscription on reverse, "To Etta, with much love. Claude Rhett."
