Ivorygraph. St. Johnsbury. Vermont. Boston. Young man. Cabinet Card. Private Collection.
A near pristine high contrast three-quarter portrait from circa 1880-90. I’m very pleased how well this cabinet card was preserved. Except for a couple of tiny scratches, it was carefully stored and looks amazing for its age. The cardstock is unblemished and still its original color: a lovely, clean shade of cream.
The back of the card is blank, and unfortunately this fresh faced budding gentleman with the Windsor tie wasn’t IDed.
