Sold For: Login to See Price

An antique cabinet card photograph depicting a middle-aged man with a mustache wearing a full-length dark ceremonial robe with a black cross on the chest and a cape overlay, and a flat cap bearing a device of three downward-pointing triangles each containing a cross. He holds an open book in his left hand and stands before a studio backdrop with balustrade and column elements. The cross-and-triangle devices are consistent with both Christian Trinitarian symbolism and late 19th century esoteric fraternal regalia. The mount bears the photographer's imprint in script at the lower left and right: "Veeder / Albany, N.Y." with a decorative monogram at center.

Photographed by Veeder, Albany, New York.

Condition includes toning to the mount, light foxing spots to the upper mount area, and minor edge wear consistent with age.
