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 Valaise (Sion), Switzerland features a finely dressed young lady posing with a stone & city backdrop wearing a dress and hat for the area. She has her arms partially folded with her right hand holding a fan.
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.
