Portret van Alfred van Saksen-Coburg en Gotha before 1887

This is a portrait of Alfred, Duke of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha, in an unknown photographer's album. It was created before 1887, a time when portrait photography was growing increasingly popular, especially for royalty. The Duke is depicted in full military dress, a sign of his status and power. The photograph captures him in a formal pose, likely for an official purpose. The image itself is a testament to the photographic techniques of the time, revealing the Duke's facial features and intricate details of his uniform with remarkable clarity.
