Portret van Alvin Saunders before 1871

"Portret van Alvin Saunders" is a portrait photograph taken by Edric L. Eaton, a prominent photographer active in the United States in the late 19th century. The photograph shows Alvin Saunders, a prominent figure in the early development of Nebraska, in a formal pose, likely for a biographical publication. The image is small in scale (110 mm x 74 mm), suggesting it was intended for a book or album, but is also a rare example of Eaton's work, likely taken before 1871. The portrait is a strong example of the photographic style of the era, characterized by its sharp focus, detailed textures and the subject's formal, direct gaze.
