Albumen printh, 8.5 x 5.5 cm, laid down on card, 10.5 x 6 cm. In fair condition: lightly faded on slightly-aged card. Card printed in red on both sides, with Nadar's address and facsimile signature on reverse, and his initial within the border containing the photograph on the other side. Head and shoulders shot of the singer, st…aring at the viewer in a dark dress attached at the neck. Beneath the image, on both print and card, Nilsson has written, 'offert à Mr Montiguani | par | [signed] Christine Nillson | Edinburgh le 6 Décembre | 1869.' An apparently-uncommon portrait, for both sitter and photographer. See Image.
