This vintage photograph features three women wearing pretty kimonos and flowers in their hair. The woman are all holding fans. Judging by their smiles, they seem to be having a good time as they pose for their portrait at the Butler Studio in Chatham, Ontario, Canada.There was a time when wearing this Japanese style clothing was quite popular in parts of the United States and Canada. This is apparent because it is not uncommon to find cabinet card era photographs with Western subjects wearing kimonos. The photographer of this image is J. S. Butler who operated as a photographer in Chatham from 1874 until 1902. A number of his photographs can be found in the collection of the Chatham-Kent Municipal Museum. A photo of Mr. Butler can be seen below. This 5 1/4\" x 7 1/4\" photograph is in very good condition and is a nice example of vintage photos illuminating fashion history.
