This carte de visite, created by Leopold Haase & Co. between 1860 and 1865, features a portrait of a military officer. The officer, standing in a formal pose, is dressed in a military uniform and holds a saber. The photograph is a classic example of the carte de visite format, popular in the mid-19th century for its ability to capture and disseminate portraits. The image is characterized by its sharp details, crisp lines, and the officer's stern, yet dignified expression, all characteristic of the photographic style of the era. The work's small size and the presence of a table in the background suggest the photo was intended for personal use, likely as a keepsake or a gift for family and friends.
