Vintage hand-colored studio portrait of a woman presented in an ornate embossed photo album or portrait folder.

The portrait bears a faded studio stamp on the reverse that appears to identify L. H. Field Co. of Tacoma, Washington. The image has soft hand-applied color to the woman’s face, clothing, and hat, giving it the classic appearance of an early to mid-20th-century studio portrait.

The brown album features:

* Embossed decorative covers
* Tooled geometric and scrollwork designs
* Gold-colored accents
* Decorative portrait opening
* Original clear protective covering over the image
* Vintage maker’s mark on the back cover

Condition

Vintage preowned condition with visible age and wear. The album has rubbing, scratches, corner wear, surface marks, and wear around the binding and edges. The clear protective covering over the portrait is wrinkled and cracked in places. The portrait shows age-related toning and minor marks.

Please review all photographs closely, as they are part of the description.

A lovely piece for collectors of antique photography, hand-tinted portraits, Tacoma or Washington history, vintage photo albums, and family ephemera.
