A finely composed carte de visite (CDV) featuring a British soldier seated in a studio setting, attributed to the studio of J. Beer, 9 Oxford Street, Southampton. The soldier, dressed in a formal suit adorned with double-breasted buttons, is seated beside a table draped with a vibrant floral cloth, creating an elegant and detailed visual composition. The reverse of the photograph bears the studio's emblem, complete with the text “Copies of this picture can always be had.” This CDV offers a glimpse into 19th-century British military or civilian fashion, likely commemorating the soldier's career or a special occasion.
