Slovak Woman and Children

Titled "Slovak woman and children" in the library's records, about 1906 to 1914. A young mother stands in a full, many-layered skirt banded with embroidery and rows of small circular motifs, a patterned scarf over her head and a baby bundled in a white embroidered wrap in her arms. A small boy in a brimmed hat leans against her skirt. For families with roots in the Slovak lands, the costume detail here is unusually clear.
