Carte-de-Visite Photograph of a Gentleman; Moses & Piffet, New Orleans, Louisiana

Carte-de-visite (CDV) photograph of a gentleman. The back of the photograph features an advertisement for Moses & Piffet, successors to E. Jacobs, located at 93 Camp Street, New Orleans. Edward Jacobs sold his studio to Moses & Piffet on August 24, 1864, having opened his studio in 1844, one of the earliest in New Orleans. The photograph is undated, but based on the advertisement, it was likely taken after August 24, 1864.
