MAN WITH HAT, circa 1860-1865 - Lot 218
MAN WITH HAT, circa 1860-1865 Albumen print Dimensions: 22 x 14.5 cm Note: Portrait of a man made in the 1860s, a period marked by the rise of studio portrait photography. This type of image is in the tradition of Second Empire bourgeois representations, in which the pose, dress and accessories all contribute to the construction of the model's social identity. Albumen prints, the dominant process of the second half of the 19th century, are characterized by their finesse of execution and subtle tonalities. Today, these portraits, often anonymous, bear precious witness to the social customs and visual codes of their time.
