The point being that the photo is supposed to look like someone younger than 37. Incomprehensible today, when the photo looks more like someone in her sixties.

I find it so funny how old age was perceived back in the early 20th century. I saw a magazine article from the 30s about how not to look matronly at 35. I read books from the time period that say things like “He was an old man, almost 60…”. I’m in my 50s, so I would be considered a crone back then! It really makes me appreciate modern medicine and the great health we enjoy.
