An elegant portrait of a young man with a well-groomed hairstyle and a striking moustache, captured by J.F. Langhans , court photographer in Prague and Mariánské Lázně .
The understated pose and the soft transition to the sepia background are characteristic of Langhans' studio aesthetic: technically perfect yet humanly warm.
The reverse bears the double stamp of the studio, including a mention of the prestigious recognition by Archbishop Albrecht — a detail that emphasizes the studio's exclusive status.
Technique: Albumen photo on cardboard ( cabinet card )
Dimensions: approx. 16.5 × 10.8 cm
Condition: Good; light age spots and toning
Origin: Prague, Czech Republic
The Langhans studio was a leading force in the transition from the 19th to the 20th century.
His portraits are distinguished by their subtle lighting, tight composition and attention to character.
This portrait shows the new generation of men around 1900 — self-confident, refined and modern.
