Carte-de-visite 3 9/16"h x 2 5/16"w on 4 1/8"h x 2 1/2"w board of infant Mary L. Ford. She is facing very slightly to the left. She has fair hair and delicate features. Her dress has a wide eyelet trim around the hem and a band of ruching part way up the skirt. The long sleeves probably have eyelet trim as well. There may be pleats or smocking on the bodice. [This may be the same dress worn by V. Howard Ford for his infant portrait.] She has on a necklace with some sort of pendant, possibly even a cross. She has on white shoes with a very flat sole. She is seated on a small upholstered chair and there is a drape behind her that angles from the top corner of the photo to the edge of the chair. She is a lovely young lady. In the space at the bottom of the carte it says "Kuhn & Cummins 48 & 50 N. Charles St. Baltimore" in very elegant script.
*******************************************

On the top of the card is written in blue fountain ink "Compliments, Miss Mary L. Ford" This piece was in the lower right of page 4 of the dark red photograph album.Collection
