A portrait of 'The Most Hon the Marquis of Salisbury' is a 1878 photographic by London Stereoscopic and Photographic Company, a Impressionism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This is a black-and-white photo of a man with a full beard and mustache, dressed in a dark coat and light vest. His hair is gray and slightly wavy, and he’s looking off to the side with a serious expression. The background is plain, focusing all attention on his face and upper body. The photo was taken by a company that specialized in stereoscopic images—those 3D-style photos you’d view with a viewer. The label at the bottom even says “Stereoscopic Coy.” If you like this style of portrait, check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more historic photos like this.
