Portret van een man 1860 - 1870

"Portret van een man" is a carte de visite photograph created by Disdéri & Co. between 1860 and 1870. The image depicts a man in a formal pose, wearing a richly decorated jacket and a thick beard. The small size of the photograph, measuring only 84 mm in height and 51 mm in width, is characteristic of the carte de visite format, which was popular in the mid-19th century for sharing portraits. These small photographs allowed individuals to easily distribute images of themselves to friends and family. The precise identity of the man depicted remains unknown.
