An early coloured CDV by Lemenager of Bushey

HertfordshirePhotographers
CDV  by Lememager
In the early days of photography a number of the photographers offered to paint over the photograph and I have now added an early example by Henri Victor Leménager of Bushey and Watford - produced when he was at Bushy and dating from about 1865.

[Andy has suggested that if you want to know more about CDV by a particular photographer which I have not covered on this site you could try http://www.cartedevisite.co.uk/ - which is a pay site which, in some cases will tell you no more than you can find out by looking in trade directories.]
