This is a CDV of two women from Goteborg Sweden. The photo was taken by Alfred Back, who was a "Fotographi Atelier". His address is listed as Goteborg, Sodra Hamngatan 59, Platen Forvaras, with a telephone number of 5274.
We believe that a Radisson Hotel is now located at or near that address.
Telephone service began in Sweden in 1877 - so this photo was taken after that. This is the only CDV we have with a telephone number on it.
The back has very ornate graphics - and that usually indicates a CDV from the 1880s-1890s.
Click on the title to go to the listing, if you're interested.
