1860's Ann Lewis Brown CDV Photo, Birmingham, Warwickshire, England

#839:

On reverse: "Mrs. Ann Lewis Brown, Grandpa Brown's mother" is handwritten in old period pencil. Photo Type: Original Antique Victorian CDV Carte de Visite Photograph. Photographer: Charles Nole, 105 New St., Birmingham, Warwickshire, UK.

This is an amazing image of Ann Brown, about 60 years old, wearing beautiful early Victorian attire. A book and pen/inkwell sits next to her on an early desk, to convey literacy and refinement. Our best guess is that she was born about 1800 and her maiden name is Ann Lewis. This photo was found in Northampton, Hampshire County, Massachusetts. It is assumed that Ann has American and possibly New England ties. A beautiful portrait.

Size: 4.5 by 7 inches
        Note: Hello from ~debra. I have spent years collecting over 10,000 ID’d lost family photos & paper from US UK flea markets & antique shops. I do the best gen research I can, but am always open to corrections. This is an original antique item, not a reprint. A new high quality rigid sleeve is included for extra protection, especially during shipping. You may buy a piece alone, or large intimate 300 dpi scans of the front and back sent immediately via email, or both. Please search carefully, as they are often found together and many may be related. I also invite you to join me at Ancestorville Genealogy on facebook. Thank you, enjoy! ~Debra Clifford (contact info on top bar)
