Antique 1890s Early Gelatin Silver Paper Photo Individual Large Mustache Suit For Sale

This authentic 1890s paper photograph features a formal bust-length studio portrait of an individual looking directly at the camera.

They are dressed in traditional Gilded Age formal attire, including a dark suit jacket, buttoned vest, white collared shirt, and patterned necktie. This piece is a significant historical artifact, representing an early example of an unmounted gelatin silver print on standalone photographic paper. It displays characteristic vintage monochromatic tones, perimeter flaking, and edge distressing typical of early flexible paper photography. The reverse side is blank.
