I have reason to believe this is Gusta Hansen. Here is why. This picture was taken by Platt in Sandusky, Ohio. There are two Platt's that operated in Sandusky. One was Alfred and he was open between 1865 & 1886. Clayton was open between 1865 & 1899. She has a tight waistcoat, a low stand collar, her sleeves are tight and appear to be shorter then standard (about 3/4 length) with trim on the bottom and she is wearing jewelry. Her hair is frizzed around the forehead and there is a bun in the back. This dates her clothing to 1883-1889.
Timeframe: 1883-1889; See above.
Conclusion: Gusta was born in July of 1866. At the time this picture was taken she would be between 17 & 23. A picture of her from 1889:
I do believe they look similar enough to be the same woman.
Where It Fits: Gusta Hansen is the daughter of Ingwer Paul Hansen & Johanna Christina Sophia Christiansen. She married Peter Jessen and moved to Arkansas between 1910 & 1920. That makes her the cousin of Julius & August Johannsen.
