An occupational CDV (carte de visite) studio portrait from circa 1867, featuring an unidentified gentleman posing with a device labeled "Bocking Patent Gas Purifier." The sitter, possibly Carl Bocking himself, is seated with the purifier prominently displayed on his lap, showcasing the innovative product.
The gas purifier, branded with the name "Arethusa," reflects the advancements in technology during the mid-19th century, aimed at improving the quality of gas used for lighting and heating. This portrait is a rare and valuable artifact, capturing the intersection of photography, industrial innovation, and personal entrepreneurship during this period.
