This antique CDV features a formal portrait of a young woman captured in the studio of S. T. Wiggins. The subject is posed with grace, her hair styled in elaborate ringlets that define the aesthetic sensibilities of the mid-to-late 19th century.

The backdrop suggests a classic Winona photography studio setting, typical of the era’s penchant for elegant, stiff-collared presentation. Collectors of Victorian cartes de visite will appreciate this specific regional documentation of fashion and period portraiture.

A timeless glimpse of a young woman from the Wiggins studio.
