A striking portrait of a young man with a careful hairstyle and a determined gaze, captured by W. M. Russell in Ulysses, Nebraska .
The photograph is printed on thick gray-green cardstock with the photographer's gilt lettering—a style typical of the early 20th century Midwest of the United States.

The combination of subtle sepia, a soft background and almost cinematic lighting makes this portrait particularly elegant.

Technique: Gelatin silver print on cardboard ( cabinet card late type )
Dimensions: approx. 16.5 × 10.8 cm
Condition: Very good; minimal signs of age and light edge discolouration
Origin: Ulysses, Nebraska (United States)

Photographer W. M. Russell worked in Nebraska around 1900, during a period when small-town studios were flourishing thanks to the growing middle class.
His style is restrained, clear and technically very polished — this portrait shows the transition from the Victorian to the more modern Edwardian portrait.
