Antique CDV 1860s S Spurling Bearded Man Portrait Hobart Town Tasmania

This antique CDV captures a formal portrait of a distinguished bearded man, a striking example of 1860s photography from the studio of S. Spurling in Hobart Town, Tasmania. The subject sits with the stoic intensity typical of the mid-Victorian era, his facial hair meticulously groomed and his attire reflecting the colonial fashion of the period.

Collectors of antipodean history will value this Tasmanian relic for its clear provenance and connection to early professional photography in Hobart Town. It offers a rare, intimate window into the life of a bearded gentleman during the 1860s.

A quintessential Spurling portrait of a bearded man in colonial Tasmania.
