An unidentified patriotic woman poses draped in a large ceremonial American flag in this striking patriotic cabinet card by H. Larouie of Lisbon Street, Lewiston, Maine, dating to the mid-1890s based on the sleeve silhouette and mount style. The flag's formal presentation staff, eagle finial, gold fringe trim, and decorative tassel cord identify it as a regimental or organizational ceremonial flag rather than a domestic household banner, suggesting the subject had a specific civic or fraternal connection to the flag rather than using it simply as a patriotic prop.
The woman wears a dark high-necked dress striped to mirror the design of the flag. It has pronounced puffed sleeves and long fitted cuffs, and an elaborate dark hat trimmed with roses and a feather. She holds the flag staff with her left arm draped across the striped field and her right hand at her waist, meeting the camera with a composed, direct expression. The flag itself shows clearly visible embroidered or applique five-pointed stars on the canton field, gold fringe along the upper edge, and a decorative tassel cord hanging from the staff below the eagle finial.
The mount face bears an embossed blind-stamp imprint reading H. Larouie, Lisbon St., Lewiston, Me. in a decorative format on the lower border of the dark green mount.
