Antique CDV Joseph Ward Girl Reading Book Inkwell Boston MA Portrait Photo
This antique CDV captures a young girl reading a book in a carefully staged studio portrait. She sits beside a desk featuring a prominent inkwell, a common prop used by photographers in Boston, MA, during the mid-to-late 19th century to signify literacy and refinement.
The work of Joseph Ward is clearly evident in the sharp composition and formal lighting of this piece. Collectors of Victorian-era photography will appreciate the thematic focus on education and the classic aesthetic of the Boston studio scene.
A wonderful historical portrait of a girl reading by the inkwell.
