Portret van een man, aangeduid als Nicholls 1860 - 1880

This is a portrait of a man named Nicholls, created by Ed. Manton sometime between 1860 and 1880. The image is a classic example of a carte de visite, a popular photographic format in the mid-19th century. The subject is dressed in formal attire, suggesting a man of standing, and is posed in a seated position with his hand resting on his lap. This type of portrait captures the individual's likeness and was a popular way to document personal identities. The image, measuring 87 mm in height and 51 mm in width, is a small but intimate glimpse into the life of a man from the past.
