Mirrored Portrait of Louise Kellogg - a photo on Flickriver

Carte de visite by C.D. Fredricks & Co. of New York City, Havana and Paris. Louise Kellogg sits on a cloth-covered table, hat in hand, as she leans against a mirror that reflects her profile. Her name is written on the back of the carte de visite mount in pencil. Genealogical records on Ancestry.com reveal several individuals with this name or a variant of it born in the late 1850s and early 1860s.

Pioneer daguerreian photographer Charles DeForest Fredricks (1823-1894) enjoyed a reputation throughout his career as an innovator widely respected for the quality of his art. Based in New York City, he also operated out of Havana and Paris.

Using a mirror to capture reflections in portraiture has a long history that predates photography.
