Original 1860s CDV of the American actress Helen Western, with original hand-coloring.
Possible one of a kind? I have never seen another example of this photo.
19-year-old Western had an affair with Lincoln assassin John Wilkes Booth,
and her photo was one of several found on Booth's body after he was killed.
Slightly trimmed on one side, but overall very good. The back is blank, as produced.
