Mounted photograph showing a photographer standing beside a tripod mounted bellows camera in a studio setting. The photograph dates to the late nineteenth or early century. The mount bears the imprint of Branthus, Photographer.

The photographer is shown operating the camera shuter with bulb cable release visible. Images depicting photographers posed with their equipment document working studio practice and are less commonly encountered than standard portrait cartes de visite.
