Description

View Antique 1865 Carte de Visite CDV Portrait Young Man Albumen Print with current marketplace pricing, condition, product images and item details. This original 1865 Carte de Visite (CDV) features a finely detailed black and white albumen print portrait of a young man, typical of mid-19th century American photography. The image captures the sitter in a classic formal pose with a slight vignette effect, emphasizing his composed expression and period attire, including a suit jacket and bow tie. The photograph measures approximately 2.5 x 4 inches, framed by a double-lined border typical of the era. On the reverse is a rare 2-cent U.S. Internal Revenue proprietary stamp, canceled with pen marks, which was often used during the Civil War period to tax photographs. The use of albumen print technique and the presence of the tax stamp strongly indicate its manufacture around 1865 in the United States. This piece is an excellent collectible for enthusiasts of antique photography, Civil War-era memorabilia, or vintage American portraiture. It remains unframed and retains the authentic aged patina of a genuine 19th century photographic relic. Condition: Used. Category: Collectibles › Photographic Images › Photographs.
