Description: This 1864 CDV photo captures a beautiful woman wearing a plaid dress, taken by Eber Woodward. Note that it has a tax stamp. Eber Woodward was a photographer in West Chester, Pennsylvania. He has an interesting part of early IRS tax history. The Bureau of Internal Revenue goal was created in 1862 to raise money to fund a war that was costing $2.5 million a day. This was done, in part, with excise taxes on goods and services. In West Chester, photographer Eber Woodward was chastised by the bureau for not affixing tax stamps—which he thought looked tacky—to his photographs, though he did collect the required taxes. This photo must have been taken shortly after he was chastised! photobox28
