Antique CDV Circa 1880 Unmarked Young Boy Striped Stockings Martinsburg

Antique CDV Circa 1880 Unmarked Young Boy Striped Stockings Martinsburg

This original CDV depicts a young boy posed in a classic studio setting, most likely captured in Martinsburg during the late nineteenth century. The child is dressed in period-appropriate attire, but the most striking visual detail is his bold striped stockings, which provide a playful and distinct contrast to the formal nature of the portrait.

Dating to circa 1880, this unmarked photograph offers a charming glimpse into Victorian-era children's fashion and portraiture. Collectors of regional West Virginia history or fans of 1880s photography will appreciate the crisp composition and the unique personality conveyed through the boy's wardrobe.

It is a wonderful historical artifact featuring this young boy from Martinsburg.
