Flapper portrait

, originally uploaded by I Love Entropy.

From the page:

"I got this set of photos of this flapper girl on eBay, and was touched by the fact that they were important enough to her to keep in perfect condition for decades, until they evidently wound up in some estate sale. So, here they are for all the world to see on the Internet; it certainly puts it all into perspective when one realizes that she was born at least a hundred years ago!

Thanks to everyone who has appreciated these pictures -- I'm glad I can make them live on, though I'd love to know who the mystery woman was!"
