1860 CDV of GLASSMAKER. This is a very hard to find occupational photograph of a glassmaker in the very early 1860's. Photographer's back stamp "Hennigar's Gallery, Middleton, Conn." Studio setting using a Victorian marble top table, he's tooling the top of what looks like a bottle that's round on the bottom with a long neck. It's resting on some kind of cloth on the table and his apron is dirty, as you can see, under the table.
