Antique CDV S.B. Smith Young Boy in Patterned Suit Honeoye NY

This original CDV depicts a young boy dressed in a remarkably detailed patterned suit. Captured by the photographer S.B. Smith, the portrait showcases the distinct fashion of 19th-century Honeoye, NY. The child’s stoic expression and the elaborate texture of his garment provide a window into the formal portraiture styles of the Victorian era in Upstate New York.

Collectors of regional New York history or antique photography will value this piece for its sharp focus on period attire and the specific S.B. Smith studio attribution. The intricate design of the boy's patterned suit makes it a standout example of mid-to-late 1800s children's clothing. It is a compelling historical artifact from Honeoye.
