A handsome antique cabinet card portrait of an unidentified gentleman with distinctive mutton-chop sideburns, dressed formally in a dark suit, vest, and bow tie. The strong facial detail, classic late-19th-century styling, and original photographer’s mount give this piece wonderful period character.
The mount is marked J. A. French, Keene, adding a bit of provenance and making it especially appealing for an antique portrait collection, gallery wall, or old-world tabletop display.
