EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a distinguished man with an impressive moustache and stylish muttonchops. The subject, identified as A. M. Gorman, exudes an air of confidence as he sits in a poised position. The photograph was taken during the 1860s in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, by an American photographer whose name remains unknown. The use of albumen silver print technique adds depth and richness to the image. Gorman's facial hair is undoubtedly the highlight of this portrait; his meticulously groomed moustache and well-defined muttonchops are a testament to the fashion trends of that era. It is evident that grooming played a significant role in defining one's social status during this time. Although we may never know the story behind A. M. Gorman or why he chose to have such distinctive facial hair, this photograph serves as a fascinating glimpse into history. It captures not only his physical appearance but also offers insight into societal norms and personal style preferences prevalent in mid-19th century America. As we gaze upon this remarkable image, it prompts us to reflect on how fashion choices can be used as expressions of individuality throughout different periods in history.
