Portret van een man met zwaard in uniform met medailles 1861 - 1862

This is a carte-de-visite portrait photograph created by Charles Billotte & Cie in 1861-1862. The photograph depicts a man in a military uniform with medals, a sword, and a hat. The use of a simple backdrop and the formal pose of the subject are characteristic of the portraiture style popular during this era. Carte-de-visites were small, affordable photographs that were often exchanged as social calling cards. This particular photograph was likely commissioned by the man himself, or by a family member, to preserve his likeness. The image provides a glimpse into the fashion and customs of 19th-century Europe.
