Beautiful photograph of Ruth Hughan




I adore this photo of eldest Hughan sister, Ruth Madeleine.There is a feisty, strong look about her, as opposed to her sister Minnie who always looked so sad and tragic in her photos. The photo was obviously taken when Ruth was in her teens- most likely late 1870s. There is an accompanying photo of Minnie which seems to have been taken at the same time. Both photos have Allan Hughan's studio stamp on the back.
