Haven’t done a sweep for CDVs (Carte de Visite) for literally years. CDVs were like business cards but with photos, there are so many of them from early years of photography, probably the only photographs of these individuals and quite often not marked who these people were, just the photographer.
This one is by E. R. Curtiss in Madison Wisconsin, circa 1870-90′s.

Beautiful sweet portrait, and rather cute man too, and wonderfully belligerent expression on the child’s face.
ca. 1894, [father and daughter portrait?]

I’m assuming this isn’t repro – it’s rather too aged and tattered to be, but there’s also something very modern about this scene…it looks like a row has just finished and the air is still blue, while the pug looks into the camera wisfully. A real Victorian soap/kitchen drama… via Calum James
P.S. I so want the suit the man is wearing, kind of a mixture of hunting country suit and urban? Love the bowler too.
