Antique CDV Old Lady in Bonnet Peter Madsen Sr Mother Unmarked

This antique CDV captures a solemn old lady in a bonnet, believed to be the mother of Peter Madsen Sr. The portrait reflects the austerity of the era, with the subject posed in traditional nineteenth-century attire. Her dark, structured headgear and focused expression provide a poignant glimpse into the domestic history of the Madsen family line.

As an unmarked piece of genealogical interest, this photograph appeals to those documenting the Peter Madsen Sr. lineage or collectors of early pioneer portraiture. The stark composition and crisp details of her period clothing make it a compelling addition to a collection centered on Victorian matriarchs.

A rare historical record of this specific mother in her classic lace-trimmed finery.
