Portret van Blanche Pierson before 1875

"Portret van Blanche Pierson" is a carte de visite portrait photograph by Charles Reutlinger, taken before 1875. The image shows a woman with her hair pulled back and a simple, high-necked blouse. Carte de visite portraits, popular in the mid-19th century, were small photographs often exchanged as social calling cards.
