This is a large-format professional studio portrait measuring 20 x 15 inches (photo portion), housed in its original ornate frame. The photograph has a striking sepia tone typical of the era, with excellent detail in the subject's face, clothing, and lighting. The gentleman is dressed in a formal suit and tie, characteristic of early 1900s studio portraits. The photo shows two small cracks/creases as seen in photos. Light age wear and minor surface marks consistent with a 100+ year-old image.
Frame shows age but remains sturdy with nice decorative detail. A beautiful and historically important piece of African American photographic history-excellent for collectors, decorators, archives, and those who appreciate early portraiture. Photo: 20 x 15 in.
Frame: Slightly larger (exact size depending on mounting).
