Figure 1.--Here are the various CDVs included in the Cambridge family albumn including both the children and parents. |
One very useful aspect of this wonderful CDV albumn collection is that the portraits are all dated. Many images HBC has acquired ar not dated, thus this is a very important addition to the HBC archive. This albumn provides a very reliable record of when the fashions depicted here were actually worn. It is also a fascinating reord of how the clothing of each child varied over time. The images begin April 30, 1863 with two CDVs taken at Mayland of Cambridge. Alan was about 1 year old and Charlie was about 2-3 years old. It is a wonderful dated record of clothing styles during the 1860s and 70s.
