Photo Number 648

This is a CdV or Cartes de visite similar in size to our wallet photographs today.

I purchased this photo at the antique shop in Bemidji Minnesota.

Here we have the price, Best Photographs $2.00 per doz.
W.L. Barnes was in Winona Minnesota from 1866 to 1892.  He was at Center Street  from 1886 to 1892.  Based on the woman’s dress I will say this photo was taken in 1886 if not a tad earlier.  Rows of buttons, pleated decorations on the skirt and a high white collar all say 1880’s.  
Thanks for stopping by, do come again:)
