Antique CDV E.M. Van Aken Handsome Man With Sideburns in Suit Lowville New York

This original antique CDV captures a truly handsome man posing in a sharp, formal suit. Photographed by E.M. Van Aken in Lowville, New York, the portrait highlights the subject's striking facial hair, specifically his thick, well-groomed sideburns which were the height of mid-to-late 19th-century fashion.

Collectors of New York State history or Victorian-era photography will appreciate the crisp studio work of Van Aken. The composition reflects the dignified mood of the period, making it a premier example of regional portraiture from the North Country. This is a classic representation of a stylish man from historic Lowville.
