Byram & Son

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a black suit consisting of a jacket and matching pants. The jacket has a shawl collar and two buttons in the front; one button is fastened. The jacket has long sleeves and the bottom edges reach the top of the pants. The pants are straight-legged and have a slight flare at the bottom. The suit is hanging on a wooden hanger with a metal hook from a metal pole on a black base. The background is white. The suit appears to be a wedding suit by Byram & Son.
