Original antique cabinet-card photograph dated November 1880, showing a young Victorian girl holding her doll while seated in an elaborate rustic studio setting of hay, grasses and rocks.The portrait was produced by Notman & Campbell at 4 Park Street, Boston. The ornate reverse also identifies the studio’s Albany, New York, branch at 55 North Pearl Street and displays photographer William Notman’s royal warrant and international exhibition medals.The handwritten date “Nov. 1880” is especially interesting because the Notman–Campbell partnership was dissolved that year. The reverse also bears the handwritten number “1268” and several faint period pencil inscriptions.A beautifully composed late-19th-century childhood portrait with strong appeal for collectors of William Notman photography, Victorian cabinet cards, antique dolls and historic Boston material.DETAILS
