<p>[QUOTE="Figtree3, post: 4533583, member: 33"]Given the dates Debora found,this could be an early carte de visite. They were first invented in France in 1854, but didn't come across the Atlantic right away. They started to become more widely used in the very late 1850s and early 1860s. So that is the earliest date for this. Perhaps somebody could figure out a date for her clothing? It is faded, but my wild guess is 1860s some time.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
