John Martin drew this illustration of a fashionable woman wearing a dress with a bustle and carrying a parasol. Martin (1823-1904) wrote and illustrated five volumes about his life and events in the greater Bangor area.

While this illustration is not labeled and was loose inside one of his volumes, it is similar to an illustration he entitled, "A Society Lady of 1889," which appears on page 65 of his "Scrapbook No. 1, Katahdin Iron Works and Silver Lake Hotel."
