A tender and honest shot of a woman in fine lace, captured by Fotograf Dvořák in Kostelec nad Labem , a small town northeast of Prague. Her pose is relaxed yet dignified, with a subtle smile that captures a moment of humanity — rare for portraits of this period.
The embossed label “Fotograf Dvořák – Kostelec nad Labem” in the lower margin has been beautifully preserved and also makes the photograph interesting for collectors of regional studios from the former Austro-Hungarian Empire.
Technique: Gelatin silver print on cardboard ( cabinet card late type ) Dimensions: approx. 16.5 × 10.8 cm Condition: Good; light discolouration and signs of age, no cracks Origin: Kostelec nad Labem, Czech Republic
This portrait reflects the transition from 19th-century studio work to a more natural form of portrait photography. The photographer Dvořák likely worked in a small village studio where personal expression was more important than aristocratic perfection — which is precisely what makes this photo so authentic.
