Portrait of a lady with a young child c.1860

Description

Portrait of a lady with a young child c.1860. Gilt has been added to highlight the woman's jewellery.

The 'union case' that contains the photograph originates from a company in Massachusetts, USA. The case illustrates an eagle in flight holding a scroll that reads, 'Constitution and the Laws' and shows the four cardinal points of the compass. In the USA, an exact copy of this union case has been associated with Civil War photos.
