Original antique studio portrait photograph featuring a seated infant in a white christening-style gown, photographed by M. C. Dermand of Zeeland, Michigan. This piece is mounted on its original decorative card mount and dates to the late 19th to early 20th century, consistent with the albumen print process widely used during this period.
The photograph exhibits the soft tonal range and warm sepia hues characteristic of albumen prints, with fine detail and gentle contrast. The child is posed against a dark studio backdrop, a common technique of the era to emphasize facial features and clothing.
A wonderful example of early American studio photography, suitable for collectors of antique photographs, genealogy researchers, or Victorian-era decor.
