Portrait of a Woman Wearing a Japanese Kimono, 1860-1875

An unknown photographer made this portrait carte-de-visite in the 1860s or early 1870s. Cartes-de-visite were small photographic prints on cardboard stock made in professional photography studios. Americans commonly collected and exchanged cartes-de-visites, which remained popular in the United States from the Civil War in the 1860s through the 1880s.
