Portret van een man in uniform 1876

This small, intimate portrait of a man in uniform, created by Alphonse Plumier in 1876, is a classic example of 19th-century portrait photography. The image, featuring a man in a military uniform with medals on his chest, is a powerful testament to the importance of military service in this period. The photograph's faded tones and the man's serious expression convey a sense of formality and respect. Plumier, a prolific photographer who captured the lives and likenesses of his contemporaries, was active in the mid-to-late 19th century. The photograph's small dimensions further highlight its intimate, personal nature.
