Portrait of political activist Emma Miller, c1910s

Description

This posed black-and-white portrait photograph of Emma Miller, probably taken in Queensland in the 1910s, shows a thin and elderly woman, fashionably dressed for the time, sitting on a chair in a studio. She is staring straight at the camera with a resolute look on her face. Her dark clothing includes a richly embroidered jacket with a high collar and a feathered hat, and she holds a handbag on her knee and a closed umbrella in one hand.
