Portret van een zittend meisje met muts 1860 - 1870

This is a carte de visite photograph taken by Edward Sims sometime between 1860 and 1870. The image features a young girl, seated on a chair, wearing a bonnet and dress. Carte de visite photographs were popular in the 19th century, particularly in Europe and the United States. These small portraits were often exchanged as keepsakes and were a way for people to share their likenesses with friends and family. The photograph's small size and focus on the sitter's face is characteristic of the genre.
