Antique CDV O.B. Demorat Old Lady IN Dress With Spectacles Philadelphia PA
This soulful CDV captures an old lady in a fine dress, likely dating from the mid-to-late 19th century. Seated with a dignified posture, she wears her spectacles, a detail that adds a layer of intellectual character and age to the portrait. The studio work of O.B. Demorat provides a sharp, clear glimpse into the fashion and social standing of a resident in historic Philadelphia.
Collectors of Pennsylvania history or Victorian portraiture will value this piece for its connection to the Demorat studio. The presence of the spectacles makes it a standout example of antique eyewear in early photography. This image serves as a poignant window into the life of an elderly woman during a transformative era in Philadelphia.
A classic portrayal of an old lady with spectacles from a notable city studio.
