Cartes-de-visite - B. Wohlmuth, Münster, circa 1861
A sepia-toned cartes-de-visite portrait photograph depicting Rabbi Abraham Sutro (1784-1869). Rabbi Sutro is shown from the waist up, with a long white beard, wearing a dark cap and a coat. He is adorned with a medal, signifying his membership in the Order of the Red Eagle, fourth class, awarded by Prussian King Frederick William IV. The reverse of the photograph features the photographer's mark, "PHOTOGRAPHIE vom B. WOHLMUTH MÜNSTER CLEMENSSTR. 117", surrounded by decorative flourishes, typical of studio photography of the period. The card itself shows signs of age, including wear and tear around the edges.
