A rare group portrait of four young men, photographed circa 1890 in the studio of P. Corlies , located in St. Cloud, Minnesota .
The men pose in two rows around a table covered in a richly decorated tablecloth, their gazes fixed on the camera with a mix of self-confidence and camaraderie.
The portrait captures the mood of a generation on the cusp of modernity — their suits sharp, their postures formal, their future still unwritten.

Technique: Silver albumen photograph on cardboard ( cabinet card )
Dimensions: approx. 16.5 × 10.8 cm
Condition: Good; light discolouration and staining at the edges
Origin: St. Cloud, Minnesota, USA

Group photographs from this period are rarer than individual portraits, as studio photography at the time was primarily focused on personal presentation.
P. Corlies ' recording shows not only friendship, but also the social etiquette of young gentlemen in the American Midwest.
