The Reader
SOLD October 2010 |
CDV-sized tintype of a young woman in fancy flowered hat, standing and reading a book. Anonymous American circa 1865. With applied hand-coloring in pink.
The book appears to be opened to a page which includes an illustration. Presumably this is a novel or book or verse from the period.
Glossy and in excellent condition, with light surface wear.
