Female Photographer with Camera 1860s CDV Photo Michigan Rare Occupational gutta percha 1880 Chicago convention portraitOriginal c1865 CDV of a woman posing next to a camera. The back is blank, but I've seen this photo before and I believe she was Martha Dunning, the wife of Oscar B. Dunning, the Dowagiac, Michigan photographer. She was a Oscar's apprentice for awhile, but I believe the business was short lived. CDV is 4" x 2. 5" and in very good antique condition. 8117A
