Studio portraits and ship, circa 1860s

The collection consists of one folder with 27 photoprints, which are all studio portrait cartes de visite, one of which has color added. Most of the photographs are unidentified and undated, although a few have dates in the 1860s. The subjects are men, women and children who are formally and often elaborately attired; the children depicted may be Henry Oliver and Charlotte de M. Thompson. Some of the portraits were made by photographers in Paris and London, as well as Baltimore.
