A haunting image of three women

...has been occupying my thoughts ever since I stumbled upon it on the Sask. Archives Board Photo Blog. The photo was taken in the early 1900s. Look at those expressions.

Indeed. There's so much going on in those faces.

Lovely photo. And I mean lovely as in interesting and telling and heartbreaking. One has to wonder what the 'staged' elements were meant to convey? And by whom? And how despite every effort at that effect, their 'selves' come through... a century later.

Well put! It's so intriguing.
