Portret van F.H.P. Ligtenberg in een lange jas met een gestreepte broek en een wandelstok Possibly 1866 - 1869

This carte de visite, a popular format for portrait photography in the 19th century, depicts F.H.P. Ligtenberg. Created by H. Jaeger & Co. likely between 1866 and 1869, the photograph showcases Ligtenberg seated in a chair, his attire indicating a man of status and leisure. The crisp detail of his clothing, including his striped trousers and a long coat, highlights the technical capabilities of early photography and its use in capturing social identity. The portrait's small size, measuring approximately 94 mm by 56 mm, emphasizes its intimate nature, often exchanged as social calling cards.
