Original antique circa 1860s carte de visite (CDV) portrait photograph of a seated boy in period clothing. Photographer's backmark reads "E. & J. Bruening's Photograph Gallery, No. 6 East Washington Street, Indianapolis, Ind."

E. & J. Bruening operated at this Indianapolis address during the Civil War era, making this an interesting piece of early Indiana photographic history.

Measures approximately 2.5" x 4".

Good condition for its age with substantial fading, toning, spotting/foxing, staining, surface wear, worn corners and edges, and minor paper loss/separation along the top edge. Backmark remains clearly legible. Please review photos closely.
