This is a very beautiful original antique Carte-De-Visite CDV photograph of a typical old Peasant man in rural 19th Century Russia. Someone wrote 1916 on back, but we believe the photo hails from the 1870’s to 1890’s. It is reminiscent of the great Russian character studies photographed by William Carrick. Could this be taken by him? The photo is superb. An excellent image of peasantry from Imperial Czarist Russia. The photo is in very good vintage condition with only some normal expected age wear (some minor scuffing towards bottom and a stain on top left corner). Photo measures approximately 4 ¼ x 2 ¾ inches.
