    #FashionPlates were a way to portray styles and fashions through drawings and lithographs, before photography and modeling became the primary methods. These images come from the Daily Alaska Empire, 3/11/1929, 3/26/1931, and 10/3/1928.
    Women dressed in wrap style mid-length dresses accented with fur, a scarf, large beads and a tie. All are wearing gloves and cloche hats.

    It’s another #ChronAmParty and we’re looking at #FashionPlates from Alaskan newspapers from the 1910s through 1930s. From left to right these images come from the Valdez Daily Prospector, 9/15/1914, and the Cordova Daily Times, 11/3/1922.

    Few people were as famous and well-liked in Alaska’s gold rush days as Nellie Cashman. Cashman was a prospector, philanthropist, and entrepreneur who spent several decades in the north and was known for her adventurous spirit and generosity. #ChronAmParty #WomensHistoryMonth
