CDV size, woman

Ambro of a woman in paper mount. Still sealed at rear. Looks to be CDV size but could be a larger plate hidden by the mat. Originally bought off Ebay as a "Russian" image due to writing on the strips of newspaper used to seal the image. I found that by viewing the lettering in a mirror the "Russian" writing was English backwards !! Don't know the country of origin.

Reverend ??
