Sisters Forever. A beautiful cabinet card from Wauseon, Ohio. I put a background page behind the photo so you could see the wonderful scalloped edges of the card. Their necklaces and outfits match and I am not quite certain they are sisters, but I like to think so:)
Little Miss CDV photograph. Her beautiful dress forms a cape in the back and has such wonderful ruffles and detailing. She seems shy and tiny in front of her big studio backdrop.
Little Man CDV. This CDV (cartes de visite) sized photo is a very early one. Based on the hair style and clothing of our fella I would date this photo to the early 1860s. A lovely studio chair adds to the beauty of this one.

I just adore the CDV of the little girl. I haven't been out flea marketing in several months. I'm getting the itch to find some new (old) photos!
