Untitled (Portrait of a Man) 1858

"Untitled (Portrait of a Man)" is a daguerreotype by Rufus Anson, dating back to 1858. The image features a man in formal attire, his gaze directed towards the viewer, captured in a small, intimate format characteristic of the daguerreotype process. The detail of his clothing, including a hat, a vest with intricate details, and a watch chain, suggests a man of standing. This work provides a glimpse into the lives and fashion of the mid-19th century.
