This is a beautiful antique carte de visite (CDV) photograph featuring a young woman dressed in elegant Victorian attire, dating from the 1870s to early 1880s. Her high-collared dress showcases intricate details, likely made of silk or a similar luxurious fabric, adorned with ornate embellishments. She is wearing layered jewelry, including a prominent cameo necklace, chains, and a possible pendant, highlighting her refined sense of style. The subject’s hairstyle, with tightly curled bangs and a carefully styled updo, is indicative of Victorian fashion trends during this period. Her expression is calm and composed, as was customary for formal portraiture in the 19th century. This photograph was taken at the Carlisle studio, in York, Pennsylvania. This photo has gold beveled edges. SOLD
