Here is a great original antique CDV photo of Princess Louise the Duchess of Argyll by the photographer John Jabez Edwin Mayall, it was in an album of 1860s - 1870s CDVs. The Princess Louise (born Louise Caroline Alberta, also known as Marchioness of Lorne and Duchess of Argyll by marriage; 18 March 1848 – 3 December 1939) was a member of the British Royal Family, the sixth child and fourth daughter of Queen Victoria and her husband, Albert, Prince Consort. Louise's early life was spent moving among the various royal residences in the company of her family. When her father, the Prince Consort, died on 14 December 1861, the court went into a period of intense mourning, to which Louise was unsympathetic. Louise was an able sculptor and artist, and several of her sculptures remain today. She was also a supporter of the feminist movement, and corresponded with Josephine Butler and visited Elizabeth Garrett. She held that "the subject of Domestic Economy lies at the root of the – highest life of every true woman." The overall size is 2.5" x 4". It has an old hand written identification on the back with a date of 1864. It is in good shape, just a little wear from age, see the photos.
