A touching carte de visite (CDV) from the Civil War era, capturing an African American caregiver lovingly holding a young white child. This CDV, stamped by Carpenter & Mullen of Magnolia Gallery, Lexington, Kentucky, features a 3-cent green revenue stamp on the reverse, indicative of the period. The caregiver's gentle expression and close positioning with the child reflect an intimate bond, offering a rare glimpse into historical relationships and societal dynamics of the time.
