Figure 1.--This CDV shows a boy named Joseph Bittle. The portrait is undated, but was clearly taken in the 1860s. The lack of a tax stamp suggests it was probably taken during or after 1866. Joseph wears a collar buttoning jacket suit with what looks like a stiff white collar and long pants. It looks rather like a light-collored suit. The suit is large for him. Presumably mother bouught a large size thatvhe could grow into. He is holding well used rounded crown hat. It looks too large for him. Joseph looks to be about 10 years old. The portrait was taken by Hoag & Quick in Cincinnati, Ohio.
