Antique CDV Circa J. E. Biddle Young Woman Large Bow Tie Northampton Mass

This antique CDV captures a portrait of a young woman posed in the studio of J. E. Biddle. The composition is defined by the fashion of the era, most notably the striking large bow tie she wears, which serves as a bold focal point against her period attire.

Hailing from Northampton, Mass, this photograph is a prime example of late 19th-century regional portraiture. Collectors of Massachusetts history or Victorian-era textiles will appreciate the crisp detail of the garment and the specific artistry associated with the Biddle studio during this time.

It is a charming historical record of a young woman from Northampton.
