Confederate Spy Belle Boyd Carte de Visite
Lot Details & Additional Photographs
Being the rebel charmer's most famous portrait, her name below, no backmark.

Miss Boyd began her espionage career in Virginia's Shenandoah Valley at age seventeen, earning notoriety and acclaim in equal measure. After the war she toured nationally with a tell-all account of her daring exploits on behalf of the Southern cause.

Some trivial corner bumps; two shallow creases across the portrait; overall good condition.
