Antique CDV P Bahl Man Spectacles Bow Tie Purple Tinted Tablecloth Mansfield OH

This antique CDV captures a distinguished man posing formally in Mansfield, Ohio. The subject is captured with striking detail, wearing sharp spectacles and a crisp bow tie, leaning against a table draped in a distinct, uniquely purple tinted tablecloth.

The photograph offers a rare look at mid-to-late 19th-century studio portraiture from the Bahl studio. Collectors of Ohio history or period fashion will appreciate the fine clarity of the gentleman’s attire and the unusual hand-tinted accents.

A remarkable portrait of a Mansfield man in his finest formal wear.
