Frances Benjamin Johnston, Self Portrait (c. 1895)



Frances Benjamin Johnston, Self Portrait (c. 1895)
“[Johnston] presents herself with beer mug in one hand, cigarette in the other, and skirt scandalously hiked up above the ankles. On one of her fingers are several rings from male suitors she had rejected.” (Martin W. Sandler, Against the Odds: Women  Pioneers in the First Hundred Years of Photography)
