Portret van een staande man in overjas 1850 - 1877

This carte de visite, created by Alphonse Plumier between 1850 and 1877, showcases a standing man in an overcoat. The small, intimate format, measuring 85 mm by 52 mm, was popular in the mid-19th century for capturing portraits. Plumier, a renowned photographer, used a formal approach, emphasizing the subject's attire and stance. The subject's crisp clothing and composed pose suggest a person of status. The image is an excellent example of early photographic portraiture and offers a glimpse into the fashion and social norms of the time.
