Portret van Thomas Barclay before 1891

This is a black and white portrait photograph of Thomas Barclay, likely taken before 1891 by an unknown photographer. Barclay is depicted seated, looking directly at the viewer. He is dressed in a dark suit, with a white shirt and a long, white beard. His right hand rests on a book that sits in his lap. The photograph is a traditional portrait, capturing a formal image of Barclay, and is likely a type of carte de visite, a small, standardized photograph popular in the 19th century.
