Untitled [portrait of an unidentified young man] 1858 - 1869

"Untitled [portrait of an unidentified young man]" is a 19th century carte de visite photograph created by Jeremiah Gurney, a photographer known for his portraiture in the late 1850s and 1860s. The photograph depicts a young man in a formal pose, wearing a suit and bow tie. The image is in a simple, rectangular format and is characterized by the sharp details and the light tones typical of carte de visite photography. This small, intimate portrait offers a glimpse into the life of a young man from the mid-19th century, capturing his appearance and likely reflecting the social norms of the era. The Minneapolis Institute of Art houses this image and the work is a fine example of the carte de visite portrait genre.
