Antique CDV W. Bates Baby Sitting On Fur Rug White Dress Chertsey Surrey UK

This antique CDV captures a portrait of a baby sitting on a plush fur rug. The infant is dressed in a delicate white dress, posed within a professional studio setting established by W. Bates in Chertsey, Surrey.

The composition reflects the Victorian fascination with childhood innocence and studio portraiture. The contrast between the soft texture of the fur rug and the crisp white dress highlights the technical skill of the photographer. This piece is a quintessential example of late 19th-century UK portraiture.

A must-have for collectors of regional Surrey history or antique baby photography, this image preserves a fleeting moment from the W. Bates studio. It remains a charming study of a child in a white dress captured in Chertsey.
