Child of War
Carte de visite by an unidentified photographer A little girl holding a basket of flowers sits in an ornate chair with her bare feet hanging over the side of the seat. The image probably dates from early in the Civil War period.
The edges of the cardboard mount have been severely cut, which indicates that the original owner trimmed the card to fit into a photograph album. The individual was following directions that were included by album manufacturers to avoid the image being bent on insertion into the stiff pages.
