Antique CDV 1860s J.A. Scholten Bearded Man Bowtie Suit St. Louis

This antique CDV captures a dignified bearded man posed during the mid-1860s. He is dressed in a sharp, structured suit and a crisp bowtie, reflecting the formal masculine fashion trends that defined the post-Civil War era in the American Midwest.

The portrait bears the distinctive backmark of J.A. Scholten, a prominent photographer based in St. Louis. This piece serves as a remarkable primary source for historians interested in 19th-century portraiture and the specific stylistic signatures of frontier-era Missouri photography.

A rare glimpse of a bearded gentleman from the J.A. Scholten studio.
