Antique French photograph, circa 1860s, by Marck, Peintre Photographe, 105 Rue Neuve-des-Mathurins, Paris.
Charming “Photographie de Genre” showing an elderly couple in a well-furnished parlour. The lady sits at a small embroidery frame; the gentleman holds a newspaper. Typical Second Empire interior with fireplace, clock, lamp and turned furniture.
Original printed mount with photographer’s credit and address. Recently professionally framed (Abacus Gallery, Halifax) in a simple dark wood frame with mount.
A lovely, atmospheric piece of early photography and period interior decoration.
Condition: Photograph and original mount in good condition for age, with the expected slight fading and foxing. Frame and glazing modern and sound.
