Description

1860-1900 carte de visite photo of a man in a suit in classical pose, by W H Gill of 88 James Street, Devonport, England (later of 33 Catherine Street).

This image is one of a pair with File:W H Gill Devonport 005.jpg; they may be husband and wife. These CDVs were acquired with File:W H Gill Devonport 003.jpg and File:W H Gill Devonport 004.jpg which may be portraits of the same couple taken later, when the photographer had moved from James Street to Catherine Street.

Points of interest
  • The man's left eye looks towards the camera, but his right eye looks very slightly upwards, giving the impression of blindness in the right eye. This is similar to the eyes of the man in File:W H Gill Devonport 004.jpg, who may be the same subject in old age.
  • The reverse of this card carries a request for an enlargement of the bust area of this photo.
