Dare I say Seward, since we've been discussing the Seward statue with Lincoln's body?

Linda,

I find it strange that Fanny Seward is in such a simple play dress in the photo of her at her father's knee. Even her hair is plain and simple for a formal photo.

I realize that the Sewards were probably photographed more than the average person of their day, but it was generally a more important event and one dressed better for the occasion. Fanny almost gives the impression of being a street urchin here (and I mean no disrespect).
