Description: In-depth Description: This Cabinet Card features a distinguished man, photographed by L.E. Beardsley, a well-known photographer from Defiance, Ohio, in the late 1800s. The photograph was taken in Buffington’s Block, as indicated by the backstamp, and is an example of Beardsley’s fine work during the era of formal portrait photography. The card back displays a delicate illustration of a butterfly, an uncommon decorative touch that makes this piece a charming collectible. Cabinet Cards like this were widely produced during the late 19th century but finding one in this condition with a named photographer adds to its collectible value. The portrait is done in sepia tones, which was typical for the era, adding a warm, vintage feel.Rarity and Year: Given the card’s clear association with the late 1800s and the specific photographer's studio, this item is moderately rare, particularly with the butterfly graphic on the back. Items from Beardsley’s studio, located in Buffington’s Block, are not frequently seen, which adds to its historical and collectible value. Estimated production is around the 1880s-1890s.
