Listing description

Antique CDV B. F. Battels Balding Man Velvet Collar Suit Akron OH

This antique CDV features a distinguished balding man captured in a formal studio portrait. He is dressed in a sharp suit highlighted by a prominent velvet collar, a stylistic choice typical of the mid-to-late 19th century.

The image bears the professional mark of Battels, a photographer based in Akron, Ohio. This piece serves as a remarkable time capsule for collectors of Ohio genealogy or Victorian fashion, offering a crisp glimpse into the personal history of a local citizen during the carte de visite era.

A quintessential portrait of a gentleman in his Akron suit.
