Photo Young Woman in 1860s - Victorian Oval Cabinet Card - A Coming of Age Photo

This lovely young lady exudes regal elegance with her impeccable up-swept hairstyle, starched white collar, and pleated dress. There seems to be a meaningful necklace placed very noticeably on the lace collar.  In this era, young women of means were often offered up to the public at "coming out" parties. This may be a social photo from an event like that, or perhaps to announce her engagement.
