This is a black-and-white portrait of a man in a suit and bow tie. His hair is wavy, and he has a full beard. A small flower pin is on his jacket lapel. The photo was taken in 1870, and the name "M. Gambetta" is written below, along with "Member of the Provisional Government." Check out the London Stereoscopic and Photographic Company for more on how early photos like this were made.
