quakers portrayed in photographs
I notice that my photographs of my Irish Quaker ancestors show them reading a book or with a hand resting on a book (presumeably the bible). Is this a common pose for most Quakers?I also have one photo of a woman wearing a large white shawl covering her body and a strange white hat which lies across her head and covers each ear. I not entirely certain if she is a Quaker and wonder if anyone has any suggestions about this outfit.
