Popular from the 1860s onward, the Carte de visite, is a small paper photograph mounted on thicker cardboard and sepia-toned, a common characteristic of photographs from this period.
While the concept and conveyance of beauty was through a much more conservative lens in the 1800s, the aura and presence of this young girl, are a time traveling reflection of contemporary beauty. This was an extraordinary achievement, an incredibly rare occasion, and with bold interpretation, she transcends time and place, at once at home in the modern world.
