Card measures, including borders, about 10.5 cm x 6 cm.

A carte de visite usually consists of a small photograph, as is the case here, that is affixed to a backing card. It was a very popular format in the mid to late 19th century.

Condition: various scuffs, scratches and other blemishes to image; has faded a little but still retains good contrast and detail overall in our opinion; some wear to backing card and some surface marks; some silvering of the image mainly around edges - noticeable when held at an oblique angle in front of a bright light. Condition is subjective so please study the photographs carefully to make your own judgement.
