#5 That pic looks "enhanced" by corset trussing or photo touch-up. If you look closely, there appears to be a white line along the left hand side of the photo (Grace's right side). The white line could result from trimming the photo. None-the-less, Grace aka Stella Parsons had an exotic quality about her.

#6  there appears to be a white line along the left hand side of the photo (Grace's right side).

Interesting. It *could* just be a blown-out highlight from a light on that side.

I do like how the fashions of that era combine both draperies and lampshades.

Remember, the photographers flash was most likely an explosive powder in this era which lit up a pretty sizeable area (unless some sort of baffle was used).

More likely it was a problem with the actual development process of the acetate negative. The acetate medium was still a pretty new technology in the early 1900's.
