Figure 1.--This American CDV is a portrait of Charles J.J. Carter if I read the inscription on the back correctly. The card has no indication as to where or when it was taken. It most likely is a northern card taken after the Civil War in the late 1860s. (There is no Federal revenue stamp.) Charles looks to be about 7 years old. He wears a cut-away jacket with button-on pants. This was a fairly common outfit, his hair is done in a more unique style. Charles' hair is done with a top roll or peak with double parts.

The has a small white collar. A tab connected the two sites of the jacket at the rop. This was a fairly common outfit, his hair is done in a more unique style.
