CDV-sized tintype portrait of a young girl with a bird cage. N.p., n.d. Paper label to verso identifies the subject: "3 years / and half / Cirra Lobdell's (?) / first pictures."

 

A charming portrait of a young girl wearing a gingham dress posed sweetly next to her pet bird. The precious "first picture" was surely cherished by her family.
