Joseph Kings 1858 - 1869

This carte de visite, a popular photographic format of the 19th century, depicts Joseph Kings in a formal pose, likely taken for personal or professional purposes. The image, created by Jeremiah Gurney, showcases the subject in a dark, almost somber coat, his expression reserved. The setting, though minimal, adds a sense of formality, with a draped fabric backdrop and a book resting on a table, potentially signifying education or intellectual pursuits. The photograph serves as a window into the life of Joseph Kings, capturing a moment in time during the 1860s.
