Description: In-depth Description: This antique Carte de Visite (CDV) photograph from the 1860s features a formal portrait of a young man, presented in a half-length view. The CDV measures 2.5" x 4" and was taken by the photographer J. F. Magill, whose studio was located at the corner of Third and Broadway, Troy, New York, as indicated by the stamp on the reverse. The man, identified by handwriting on the back as "Aaron Angules," is dressed in a formal suit with a high-collared shirt and cravat, typical of the fashion of the mid-19th century. CDVs like this were commonly exchanged among family and friends as keepsakes during the 1860s, and this example is particularly valuable due to the clear identification of both the subject and the photographer.Rarity: CDVs from the 1860s are common, but the identification of both the subject and the photographer on this piece increases its historical and genealogical value. The association with J.F. Magill’s photography studio in Troy, NY, also adds an interesting regional element to the piece.Maker and Year:Maker: J. F. Magill, Photographer, Troy, NY.Year: Likely from the 1860s, based on the style of the photograph and the subject’s attire.
