In this painterly portrait-style photograph, a model sits respectfully, head bowed, in focus. She wears Traina-Norell's black silk taffeta gown, accented with roses and lace-bound organdy. Her leghorn hat has a grosgrain ribbon and silk flowers; it was made to order at Henri Bendel. The enchanting John Rawlings image appeared in the April 1, 1948, Vogue. Rawlings created more than 200 Vogue and Glamour covers, in addition to thousands of feature photographs, during his mid-20th-century tenure with the magazines.
