Albumen cabinet card portrait depicting Mr. & Mrs. A. Myers, with the bearded woman standing beside her seated husband in a studio interior. The woman wears a fitted dress with decorative trim and holds a floral sprig at her bodice. She has a full beard and mustache clearly visible. The seated man wears a three-piece suit and striped trousers, posed beside a pedestal with potted plants.

No photographer’s imprint visible on mount. Reverse blank aside from later pencil notations. Mount style and photographic process consistent with late 19th century studio work.

A strong example of a Victorian bearded woman portrait, a subject often associated with sideshow, curiosity, and exhibition history. Clear, direct studio composition with both figures fully visible.
