Title:
Man, bearded, head and shoulders
Creator:
Havens, O. Pierre
Description:
Cabinet card portrait of a bearded man with a jacket and a narrow tie. The information at the bottom of the card where the photographer's name or studio name usually appears is printed "Havens Savannah GA." It is assumed that this would be O. Pierre Havens, who was working as a photographer in Savannah between 1872 and 1888. The image is very dark and somewhat soiled. The back of the card has handwritten information as to the identity of the portrait sitter, and his address, but not the date. The name is not completely legible, but appears to be J. W. Raahm, the address is also hard to read, but appears to be 216 Walberg (Waldberg) Street. The message on the back is commissioning a "first class picture" of this image by J. Wisehart with an agreed on price of $12.00.
