Antique CDV Greenish Elderly Woman Bonnet Shawl Dorset Square London UK

This antique CDV captures a dignified elderly woman posed in a formal studio setting. She is dressed in a traditional bonnet and a heavy, textured shawl, reflecting the modest and somber fashion of the late Victorian era. The greenish tint often found in early photographic chemistry adds a ghostly, atmospheric quality to her portrait.

The backmark identifies a photographer based in Dorset Square, London, marking this as a quintessential piece of urban British social history. Collectors of 1860s portraiture will appreciate the sharp composition and the specific regional provenance of this London studio. It is a rare glimpse into the life of an elderly woman from a bygone century.
