Portret van een man met lange snor in militair uniform 1870 - 1899

This is a portrait photograph, or a "carte de visite," a popular format in the 19th century, capturing a man in military uniform. Created by J.B. Jasper between 1870 and 1899, the image shows the man with a long mustache, a hallmark of the era. The oval frame adds a formal touch to the image, typical of the time, and the man’s serious expression suggests a sense of duty and authority. The image is part of the Rijksmuseum collection and its small size, 82 mm by 52 mm, is characteristic of carte de visite photographs, making them readily shareable and collectible.
