Description

View Antique 1865 Black & White Carte de Visite Albumen Portrait Photo with current marketplace pricing, condition, product images and item details. This antique carte de visite (CDV) photograph dates circa 1865 and features a classic black & white portrait of a man with distinctive curly hair and a bow tie, dressed in formal 19th century attire. The image is printed using the albumen print technique popular in the mid-to-late 19th century, known for its rich tonal range and sharp detail. Measuring approximately 2.5 x 4 inches, this unframed CDV is a fine example of photographic portraiture from the United States during the 1851-1900 period. The verso of the mount bears a rare green 3-cent U.S. Internal Revenue proprietary stamp, which was used during the Civil War era to tax certain documents and photographs, adding historical authenticity and collectible appeal. The photograph is surrounded by a simple double-lined border, typical of the period's styling. This original piece offers significant value for collectors of vintage photography, Civil War-era ephemera, and early American portraiture, capturing a moment frozen in time with genuine period characteristics.
