Portret van Paul Martin before 1883

This is a photograph of Paul Martin, a French politician. The image is taken from a historical and biographical magazine "Le Nord Contemporain," and is likely a portrait used for a biography about Martin, though the exact details are not known. The photograph was taken sometime before 1883, when the magazine printed it. N.C., the photographer, is not well documented. The photograph is a classic example of the portrait genre and highlights the importance of photographic documentation for historical figures.
