Untitled [portrait of an unidentified man] 1858 - 1869

This carte de visite, created by Jeremiah Gurney in the late 19th century, is a portrait of an unidentified man. The subject, likely a gentleman from the mid to late 1800s, is portrayed in a formal pose, dressed in a suit with a patterned vest and tie. Gurney's work exemplifies the popularity of the carte de visite format, used for portraiture and social sharing during that era. This small photograph captures a fleeting glimpse of the past, offering a window into the style and fashion of the 19th century.
