About This Item:
This is an original antique Carte de Visite (CDV) portrait photograph measuring approximately 3.5\" x 2\". The sepia-toned image depicts a distinguished bearded gentleman seated beside a covered studio table, dressed in a three-piece suit with vest, bow tie, and watch chain.
The reverse bears the photographer\'s imprint:
Wm. F. Hunter, Photographer
282 Fulton Street, Brooklyn, New York
Formerly of Broadway, N.Y.
The back advertisement also notes that the studio produced photographs finished in oil, watercolor, and India ink, and copied daguerreotypes and ambrotypes into photographic prints—details typical of professional photography studios during the late 19th century.
Based on the mount style, studio imprint, and photographic format, this CDV likely dates to the 1870s–1880s. It is an excellent addition to collections of Victorian photography, New York history, genealogy, or antique portrait photographs.
