Description

A card mounted portrait of a young man in a baggy suit posed leaning against an ivy covered rock. In this professional but casually posed photograph, the bottom two buttons of his jacket are left unbuttoned.

Notes

This is an unidentified portrait found in the London Public Library's Photograph collection and indexed under male portraits with the sub-heading "Old London Personalities." This implies that the unidentified young man played a role in the early history of London, Ontario and since this portrait is a "Souvenir Card" it implies that he also had the opportunity to travel to New York for pleasure or business.
The geographic location on the map is the approximate
location for 872 Broadway Street in New York City where the photography studio for Abraham Bogardus existed in the 1880's. The date for this portrait is based on this.
