Antique CDV Union Gallery Standing Woman Hoop Skirt Danbury Conn

This rare antique CDV captures a formal portrait of a woman standing within the Union Gallery in Danbury, Conn. She is posed elegantly to showcase the impressive width of her voluminous hoop skirt, a hallmark of mid-nineteenth-century fashion.

The photograph serves as a crisp window into the local history of Danbury, Connecticut, during the Civil War era. Collectors of regional photography will appreciate the clear identification of the Union Gallery, which provides vital context to this period garment and the studio practices of the 1860s.

A quintessential example of a standing woman in a hoop skirt from the Union Gallery.
