Antique Cabinet Card by Amos Belden, 1890s Portrait of a Gentleman, Albion, NY

Description: In-depth Description: This is an antique Cabinet Card portrait from the 1890s, featuring a distinguished gentleman photographed by Amos Belden. Belden operated studios in both Albion and Medina, NY, as indicated by the back stamp. Cabinet Cards were popular from the 1870s to the early 1900s and were typically used for formal portraits like this one. The photograph is sepia-toned, which was common for the period, giving it a warm and classic appearance. The gentleman’s attire, including his suit and neatly trimmed mustache, reflects the formal fashion of the late 19th century. The photograph is mounted on a standard cabinet card measuring 4.25" x 6.5". The reverse features the photographer’s ornate studio mark, offering duplicates upon request, which was also common practice during this time. This photograph would appeal to collectors of Victorian-era photography, particularly those interested in portraiture and New York state history. Rarity and Year: Given the nature of cabinet cards from the 1890s, this item is a relatively rare piece due to its age and the prominence of the photographer Amos Belden, who was known in western New York. While cabinet cards were mass-produced, fewer have survived in good condition, making this a desirable collector’s item.
