Mr. Dreamy Eyes with the bowtie

By C.E. Ryan

Cabinet card. Private Collection.

1890s-1900s Cabinet card. Private Collection.

The photographer set the camera at a low angle which is highly unusual, but it paid off and the portrait is gorgeous. This gentleman has very beautiful eyes drawing the viewer in. Loving the fat bowtie too.

Alas, no name or photographer logo…This one came from a dealer based in East Sussex, England. This fine sitter was most certainly British.

Plain dark green card with gold bevelled edges.

He reminds me of Charlie Chaplin in some early portraits. He definitely has bedroom eyes!
