This was a New York photo studio that cranked out portraits on shoestring budgets in the 1860s. They liked to keep props minimal—one plain backdrop, one chair, and a straight-on stare that made every sitter look like they’d just walked out of a bank ledger. Why they belong in Gallery Tiles: look up the “Portrait of a man, glass-plate negative, ca. 1865” and you’ll see a face that could be your great-great-grandfather, caught in the exact moment he decided to stand still.
