Portret van een onbekende man, zittend aan tafel 1857 - 1898

This 19th-century carte de visite, created by P. Siewers & Zoon in Edam, depicts a seated portrait of an unknown man. The photograph showcases the subject's formal attire, typical of the era, and emphasizes his presence with a detailed rendering of his facial features. The use of a simple backdrop and the deliberate focus on the individual highlight the burgeoning popularity of portrait photography in the late 19th century. The small size and delicate details of the image further emphasize its significance as a personal and cherished memento.
