Civil War Era Couple CDV





Here's a young Civil War era couple - don't they look very formal.  This is a CDV (Cartes de Visit) photograph.  They were photographed by Nick & Knecht, Excelsior Traveling Artists.  Note the Civil War revenue stamp on the back - this photo was taken between 1864 and 1866.

    All these photos are great. I always feel sad when I see orphan photos in stores. Thanks for posting these. The civil war couple makes me wish they were my ancestors.
