In the case of these girls all the photos were taken in a studio made to look like a church and they are posing with bibles and leaning on kneeling stools.

In the case of these girls all the photos were taken in a studio made to look like a church and they are posing with bibles and leaning on kneeling stools.
Girls at this time wore long veils and white dresses often with puffed sleeves, high necklines, and full skirts,symbolizing purity, innocence and connection to the divine.
