Carte de visite style photo of a bearded gentleman, possibly in his late 40s or early 50s. The beard type seems to most closely resemble the “Chin Curtain.” We also take note of his suit which shows lapels with trimming along the edges, and is that a pin in the shape of a cross that is showing on his cravat? The date for the CDV is estimated at circa 1875-1880.

The photo was taken at the P. Hadrup studio in Aarhus, Denmark, which was located at the address of Store Torv 9. The phrase at the bottom on the back of the CDV, “Pladen opbevares for Efterbestillinger”  means the studio kept the original plate or negative for any possible future reorders. The photographer is likely Peder Hansen Hadrup. See separate post under the Photographer category for more information.
