About this photograph

This negative, made by Theodor Horydczak in 1920, reproduces an earlier carte de visite portrait. The original photograph was a nineteenth-century studio portrait of a woman, labeled as coming from Brady's studio in New York.

Horydczak worked as a commercial photographer in Washington, D.C. His photographs are held by the Library of Congress as a named collection.

The carte de visite format was a small photographic portrait mounted on card stock, popular in the second half of the nineteenth century. By 1920, when Horydczak made this copy negative, such cartes de visite had become historical artifacts. The original subject's identity is not recorded beyond the studio attribution.

Compiled from the catalogue record and reference notes on the formats and events involved. The archive record above is the primary source.
