Antique CDV T Laing Elderly Man Glasses Bow Tie Portrait Glasgow Scotland

This antique CDV captures a dignified elderly man posing for a formal portrait in the studio of T. Laing. His stern yet refined expression is framed by a pair of wire-rimmed glasses, and he is dressed in a crisp shirt accented by a neatly tied bow tie.

The photograph originates from Glasgow, Scotland, reflecting the Victorian era's penchant for sharp, high-contrast studio portraiture. Collectors of Scottish social history will appreciate this clear glimpse into the fashion and character of a late 19th-century gentleman.

A rare look at a distinguished gentleman from the T. Laing studio archives.
