CDV Older Couple - Woman Wears Magnifying Glass on Cord Carte de Visite Photograph

An interesting antique photograph, this carte de visite features an older couple. The stand-out element is the large magnifying glass she wears around her neck. Clearly (no pun intended), presbyopia is nothing new!

The sepia tone photo is applied to a standard size 4-1/4" x 2-1/2" CDV card. The front carries the photographer's names and location – C. Pettingell, 180 London Rd., Liverpool. The back of one card is beautifully decorated with a Victorian aesthetic design. The card edges are gilded.

Condition: some scuffing to the photo, some spots that may have been on the negative. I hate to say this but either she has a bit of a mustache (I REALLY hate writing that!) or she has a shadow on her lip, or there is a little scuffing there..... Thank God for lasers. Non-smoking home. No funky smells.

The photos will be shipped thoughtfully to insure a safe delivery.
