Antique CDV Prof. G. W. Doty Baby Girl in Long Gown Wooster OH

This original CDV depicts a serene baby girl wearing a remarkably long gown, captured in the studio of Prof. G. W. Doty. The infant is the central focus of the composition, draped in the flowing white fabric characteristic of Victorian-era christening or portrait attire. The craftsmanship of the Wooster, Ohio, photographer is evident in the lighting and the delicate details of the child's expression.

Collectors of Ohio history or 19th-century portraiture will value this antique piece for its connection to Prof. Doty’s professional body of work. It serves as a fine example of regional mid-to-late 1800s photography, highlighting the specific fashion and studio aesthetics of the period.

This is a charming historical record of a baby girl from the Doty studio in Wooster.
