Miss Leclerc 1869 - 1874

"Miss Leclerc" is a carte de visite photograph by Jeremiah Gurney, a prominent American photographer working in the mid-19th century. The image, taken between 1869 and 1874, depicts a woman, identified as Miss Leclerc, in a formal pose. The portrait captures her in a simple yet elegant attire, with her hair neatly styled and a brooch adorning her collar. The photograph, typical of the era, showcases the technical skill of Gurney and the popularity of the carte de visite format for documenting individuals and families. The photograph, now part of the Minneapolis Institute of Art collection, offers a glimpse into the lives of everyday individuals during the 19th century.
