ANTIQUE CDV CIRCA 1860s T.R. BURNHAM HANDSOME BEARDED MAN in SUIT BOSTON MASS.

This original CDV features a handsome bearded man captured in a classic studio pose. Dressed in a sharp formal suit, the subject exudes the dignified confidence typical of the mid-19th century. The reverse side bears the mark of T.R. Burnham, a prominent photographer based in Boston, Mass.

Dating to circa the 1860s, this portrait is an exceptional example of Civil War era photography and New England social history. Collectors of Burnham’s work or enthusiasts of Victorian fashion will appreciate the fine detail in the sitter's facial hair and the tailoring of his period suit. It is a striking visual record of a distinguished man from old Boston.
