c1869 Canton de Berne, Guggisberg, Switzerland Tinted Photograph Adolphe Braun C

A beautiful, and rare, hand tinted photograph by Adolphe Braun which is part of his series Costumes de Suisse from circa 1869. The Canton of Berne, Guggisberg, Switzerland features an attractive young lady standing beside what looks like a back back with a round object that is held up by a pole. She is wearing a dress and hair ribbon typical of the area and posing with one hand on her hip and another resting upon the round object. The photo card measures approx 8 1/8" x 6 3/8" with the actual image sizing being about 6 1/4" x 4 1/2". I believe the photograph is of French origin and use the albumen silver print technique. Condition: tanning, foxing, spotting and board is wavy from moisture with edge wear.
