This backdrop looks similar to a photo of my GGG Grandmother. My Grandmother told me it was taken in the 1870's at the Illinois state fair in Springfield. She went into detail about wardrobe they had to choose from. My family were simple farmers, yet my GGG was dressed in a long socialite gown w/ elaborate feathered head piece. She looked like a movie star.
If I had to guess, I'd bet this "your photo" was a very similar situation.

Would you be willing to share the photo you mention so that I could compare the background to the one of my GG Grandfather? - Colleen
