Antique CDV 1860s Woman in Hoop Skirt Dress Holding Book Table Prop

This antique CDV captures a poised woman from the 1860s standing beside a classic parlor table prop. She is elegantly dressed in a voluminous hoop skirt dress, a hallmark of mid-Victorian fashion, and is captured in a contemplative moment while holding a book.

The crisp focus on her elaborate attire and the intentional studio staging make this an essential piece for any 1860s photography collection. It perfectly encapsulates the rigid aesthetic standards and the domestic intellectualism typical of the Civil War era.

A quintessential portrait of a woman in a hoop skirt dress.
