Penzance UK CDV Victorian woman w beautiful clothing actress? by Robert Preston

Description: Penzance UK CDV Victorian woman w beautiful clothing actress? by Robert Preston This young woman cocks her head as though posing comes naturally to her, leading me to speculate that perhaps she is an actress. Her clothing is elegant and elaborate. Engraved on reverse is: "Robt H. PrestonPhotographerTo The PrinceAnd Princess of WalesPenzance" Preston partnered in the 1860s with Poole, and I believe this photo may date from about 1870, when he was working alone. Light fading to image. Yellowing to image. Light surface soiling. Card measures 4 x 2.5 inches. Photo measures about 3.75 x 2.375 inches. My mother was a photographer who collected antique photos of all types for years. As I am settling her estate, I will be listing these photos as quickly as I am able. There are hundreds of photos to go through, and I am trying to match any information my mother may have left with individual photos. Unfortunately, Mom had dementia at the end of her life and wasn't able to tell me much about her collection. She had done a lot of research into photographers and individual pieces in her collection, and often, but not always, filed her research with the photo(s). I search for more information on the internet and in history books, but it's a slow process and it will take me a long time to complete the sorting and selling process. I am always happy to combine shipping on multiple purchases, so please check out my other listings. I will ship as soon as I receive payment.
