Antique CDV 1870s Bannister Man Long Beard Double Breasted Coat Manchester

This rare antique CDV captures a distinguished man from the 1870s, posing with a striking long beard that defines his Victorian-era aesthetic. He is dressed in a sharp double breasted coat, projecting an air of formal authority typical of the period.

The photograph originates from a Manchester studio, offering a window into the sartorial style of northern England during the late nineteenth century. Collectors of Victorian portraiture will appreciate the crisp focus on his facial hair and the precise tailoring of his heavy wool garment.

A remarkable look at a Manchester gentleman from the 1870s.
