Cartes-de-visite - E. A. Kusel, Oroville, California, circa 1865-1870
A hand-tinted carte-de-visite photograph, likely taken between 1865 and 1870, by photographer E. A. Kusel in Oroville, California. The photograph depicts two young, unknown children standing side-by-side, with the boy on the left wearing a suit and the girl on the right in a pink dress and floral headpiece. The image exhibits a characteristic studio backdrop and lighting of the mid-19th century. The reverse side of the card features the photographer's imprint, "E. A. KUSEL, MONTGOMERY STREET, Oroville," centered in ornate typography. The hand-tinting provides color to the children's clothing and facial features, a common decorative practice for studio portraits of the era.
