Antique CDV 1860s J. M. Le Clear Older Woman Lace Cap Brooch Batavia NY

This antique CDV captures a dignified older woman from the 1860s, posing for her portrait in Batavia, NY. Photographed by J. M. Le Clear, she is dressed in the formal attire of the Civil War era, wearing an elaborate lace cap and a prominent brooch at her collar. The composition reflects the quiet, somber mood of nineteenth-century portraiture, highlighting the intricate textile details of her cap and the metallic glint of her heirloom brooch.

For collectors of early American photography, this piece offers a fascinating glimpse into upstate New York history. The 1860s fashion, from the delicate lace to the classic brooch, makes this a compelling addition to any collection focused on Victorian social history or the regional work of J. M. Le Clear. This striking portrait remains a beautiful testament to the strength and style of this older woman from Batavia.
