    What a complicated way to dress. Glad fashion has evolved.
  • EspressoBuzz said:
    Wow. The image is so clean and crisp. Looks like it was shot recently. Amazing to imagine that she had no idea what she'd see in her lifetime (WW1, etc).
  • NoVaBeth said:
    What an amazing photo of Evelyn Nesbit! Thank you, Library of Congress.
  • Nathan Adams said:
    Her name was Evelyn Nesbit. She was a chorus girl who had relationships with Stanford White, John Barrymore, & the rather unstable Mr. Thaw. During a performance one night, Thaw shot Stanford White in the face three times, killing him instantly. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evelyn_Nesbit

    No wonder she had affairs. She's quite attractive. I wonder what she's doing tomorrow night? Do you have her email address?

    LOC --- the title is defective: The abbreviation for "Deputy" needs a "y" added; otherwise the reader mistakes the word as "Department." Three "r's" belonged in the old one room schools -- not in the word "Sheriff."
  • Wystan said:
    In 1906, Harry K. Thaw pulled a gun, fired three shots, and murdered the noted architect Stanford White, in the roof garden atop New York City's old Madison Square Garden [which White had designed], in full public view of a partygoing crowd. He was found insane, and committed to the Mattewan State Hospital for the Insane, in Fishkill, New York. In 1913, Thaw escaped from Mattewan, and met a confederate who drove him north across the New Hampshire border into Coaticook, Quebec, where he spent several weeks. After extradition from Canada, he was held briefly in New Hampshire, pending his return to the custody of the State of New York. After another trial, in 1915 he was adjudged to have been restored to sanity, and set free. Thaw in New Hampshire -- a solo portrait:

    Richard Arthur Norton and Wystan: Thanks for your comments. We'll correct the title next time we update the description.

    I love the epithet "The Girl on the Red Velvet Swing" from her trial testimony.
