A carte de visite studio portrait of a mother and baby, Valentine Wolfenstein, Los Angeles, ca. 1872. The image shows the woman, wearing a dark patterned dress with a lace neck holding the child, who is wearing a christening gown. On the reverse is the printed cartouche for the photographer, whose office was in the Temple Block. With a few very small stains, light soiling and minor edge abrasion, the condition is good.
