This is a black-and-white portrait of an older man in a dark coat and bow tie. His glasses sit on his nose, and his hair is thin and gray. The background is plain, keeping all focus on his face and upper body. The name "M. Theirs" is written at the bottom, but we don’t know who he is. This photo was made in 1870, when cameras were just getting better at capturing details like wrinkles and textures. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more photos like this.
