Bowtie Cigar Glasses Waistcoat For Daytime
EDITORS COMMENTS
In this carte de visite, we are transported back in time to the late 19th century in Bataille, France. The portrait showcases a distinguished man exuding an air of sophistication and confidence. The subject's impeccable sense of style is immediately apparent as he stands before us, dressed for daytime with his fashion choices meticulously curated. His attire includes a crisp bowtie and a perfectly tied tie that adds elegance to his ensemble. A stylish waistcoat completes the look, accentuating his refined taste. Adorned with round spectacles that frame his eyes, the gentleman possesses an intellectual allure. These glasses not only serve as functional accessories but also add an intriguing touch to his overall appearance. As our gaze shifts towards the center of the photograph, we notice him holding a cigar delicately between two fingers—a symbol of leisure and indulgence during this era. This small object further enhances his aura of sophistication and hints at moments of relaxation amidst his undoubtedly busy life. Etienne Carjat skillfully captures every detail in this remarkable portrait; from the intricate patterns on the gentleman's clothing to the subtle nuances in expression on his face. Through Carjat's lens, we are given a glimpse into both the outer beauty and inner character of this enigmatic figure. This print serves as more than just a visual representation; it transports us through time while offering insight into fashion trends, personal style choices, and societal norms prevalent during its creation between 1870-1890. Carjat's mastery lies not only in capturing light and shadow but also immortalizing human essence within each frame—an art form that continues to captivate audiences even today.
