Carte de visite of a fairly wealthy man and woman seated for couples portrait. Man has a beard and is wearing a wide lapelled frock coat and vest of either a sateen or polished cotton. He has a watch chain.
The woman is wearing a belted tea dress of a similar shiny material. It has a corseted bodice with dropped shoulder seams & bishop style sleeves, a lace collar, hoop skirt and plenty of trim. She has a hairnet with lots of ribbons.
