Antique CDV Circa 1880s W. E. Cleave Cute Baby in Dress Howell MI

This charming antique CDV features a cute baby in a dress, captured in a seated studio pose by the photographer W. E. Cleave. The infant is centered in the frame, showcasing the elaborate lacework and heavy fabric typical of 1880s children's fashion. The soft expression of the child provides a glimpse into the domestic sentiments of the late Victorian era in Howell, MI.

Collectors of Michigan history or genealogical ephemera will value this piece for its local Howell connection and the distinct Cleave backmark. It serves as a beautiful example of circa 1880s portraiture, representing the intricate clothing and photographic styles of the decade.

This unique portrait remains a lovely historical record of a cute baby in a dress.
