This original antique Carte de Visite (CDV) photograph, circa 1865, features a black and white albumen print portrait of a bearded man dressed in period attire.

This CDV is a fine example of American photography from the 1851-1900 era, showcasing the delicate tones and soft focus typical of albumen prints. The reverse of the mount bears a rare 2-cent U.S. proprietary revenue stamp, dated to the Civil War period, adding historical interest and provenance to this collectible piece.
