This is an original Victorian-era Carte de Visite (CDV) photograph featuring a studio portrait of a young woman. She is depicted from the waist up, with curly hair and a distinctive high-collared blouse adorned with elaborate ruffles or lace and a small brooch. The sepia tone and formal pose are characteristic of 19th-century studio photography.
The reverse of the card bears the printed mark of the photographer: "E.W. Hall, PHOTOGRAPHER, Caribou, Maine." This antique CDV offers a glimpse into historical fashion and portraiture, making it a valuable piece for collectors of vernacular photography, historical images, or those interested in genealogy and Maine history. This listing includes one mounted Carte de Visite photograph.
