Portret van een man 1850 - 1900

"Portret van een man" (Portrait of a Man), a photograph created by A. & G. Taylor sometime between 1850 and 1900, features a man in a formal suit, with a thick beard and a serious expression. The photograph is framed by a hand-painted border of delicate floral motifs, adding a decorative touch to the portrait. The combination of the formal attire and the floral border suggests that this was a common type of portrait commissioned during the Victorian era, likely intended for personal use or as a keepsake. The small dimensions of the photograph, 135 mm in height and 98 mm in width, further support this assumption.
