Antique Genealogy Item #107

1860’s Vintage Victorian CDV Photo:

On reverse: appears to be ‘Calib Haskill’ handwritten in pencil, age written unknown. We assume it to be Caleb Haskill, and his first name is spelled incorrectly. Photo Type: CDV Carte de Visite Photograph. Date: circa 1860’s, Civil War era. Photographer: unknown, unmarked.

A very clear portrait CDV photograph, found in Amherst, Massachusetts, Hampshire County. We found evidence of a Caleb Haskill in Union Civil War records. This handsome young man would be at the age for soldiering during the 1860’s time period. It is a beautiful close up portrait. Haskell is an alternative spelling of this surname.
