Two named CDVs

Here are two CDVs from my collection where I am lucky enough to have the subjects names.  First is a photograph of Dora Jowitt with her mother with a date that I believe to be 1868.  The photographer is T . Coleman of Brunswick Place London which fits in with the dating of mid-late 1860s.

The second CDV is of Miss Diana Coke.  Normally I wouldn't buy a CDV in such poor and faded condition but she is such a cutie I couldn't resist her.  There is no photographer markings to help date her but judging from what we can see of her dress and hair I'd say mid 1860s. I love the large tasselled bows on her sleeves and her cute little basket :)

1860s CDV of family group

Today we have another CDV for your viewing delight from my personal collection. The photographer is Sam Glen Payne of New Road, Aylesbury which dates the image around 1864-1865. It's rare to have such a large family group photo on a CDV and what I particularly love about it is the little boy has a fringe (or bangs as my american friends would say).
