Antique CDV R F Bertolle Young Woman High Collar Brooch March Cambridgeshire

This antique CDV captures a poised young woman captured by the lens of R F Bertolle. She is elegantly dressed in the formal style of the era, drawing particular attention to her high collar and the ornate brooch pinned firmly at her throat.

The portrait was taken in March, Cambridgeshire, reflecting the refined Victorian aesthetic popular among studio photographers of the time. Collectors of regional British portraiture will prize this specific piece for its crisp detail and the clear mark of the Bertolle studio.

This image remains a fine example of a young woman’s fashion in late 19th-century Cambridgeshire.
