Antique CDV Circa 1860s Gorgas & Mulvey Handsome Bearded Man Madison in

This original CDV features a remarkably handsome bearded man, captured in a formal studio setting by the photographers Gorgas & Mulvey. The subject exudes the stoic character of the mid-19th century, with his well-groomed facial hair and period attire serving as a quintessential example of masculine style from the Madison area.

Dating to circa the 1860s, this portrait offers a window into the Civil War era through the lens of a prominent regional studio. Collectors of early American photography will value the crisp detail of the Gorgas and Mulvey backmark and the striking presence of the sitter. It is a premier specimen for those documenting the history of Madison or the evolution of Victorian portraiture.
