1860s CDV Photo Woman in Unusual Dress Pioneer Colorado Territory Photographer soldier The woman’s clothing and hairstyleOriginal 4" x 2. 5" CDV, taken by the pioneering western photographer E. B. Fowler. The woman is unidentified, but possibly related to or part of the Craig family, well known around Denver at that time. It has been suggested that she was a Civil War vivandiere, but I'm not sure. The CDV has some age related wear and soiling. Shipping: Choice of Ground photo mailer or boxed Priority Mail. 3109a
