Antique CDV Wm. V. Lane Cute Baby Leon C. Staples In White Dress Vinal Haven

This original CDV features a portrait of a cute baby named Leon C. Staples, captured in a formal studio setting by the photographer Wm. V. Lane. The infant is elegantly posed wearing a long, flowing white dress that was traditional for children of the late 19th century. The composition highlights the soft features of the child against a classic backdrop, showcasing the delicate textures of the Victorian-era garment.

Collectors of Maine history will find this piece particularly significant due to its origin in Vinal Haven. It serves as a charming genealogical record of the Staples family and a fine example of Lane’s regional photographic work. This piece is an ideal addition for those specializing in antique portraiture or coastal island heritage.

A wonderful historical glimpse of young Leon in his finest white dress.
