Antique CDV 1880 W Eskett Woman High Collar Brooch Lendal York England

This antique CDV captures a stern woman posing with the rigid elegance characteristic of 1880 portraiture. Her high collar is fastened by a distinct, ornate brooch, drawing the eye to the structured Victorian fashion of the period.

The portrait was produced by Eskett, a photographer operating out of Lendal in York, England. This piece serves as a quintessential study of provincial British studio photography, offering a window into the formal aesthetic and social standards of late nineteenth-century York.

Collectors of regional English history will appreciate this fine example of an Eskett portrait. It remains a evocative artifact of a woman from the 1880 era, defined by her high collar and classic brooch.
