Dressed in a smart Edwardian jacket, he embodies the intellectual and artistic spirit of the early 20th century. Briton Riviere, born in 1841, was a prominent figure in the art world of late Victorian and Edwardian England. He was elected a Royal Academician in 1882, an honor bestowed upon him for his exceptional talent and contribution to the arts.

The rotary postcard, likely produced around 1910, offers a window into the past, allowing us to connect with Riviere and his artistic process. The photograph is a testament to the enduring allure of art and the creative spirit that drives artists to explore the world around them and express their unique vision.
