What sets this print apart is its sitter, James Valentine Campbell, whose dates of 1823 to 1890 span most of the nineteenth century. The caption card gives no date for the photograph, so its exact year is unknown. The bust format, which frames the head and shoulders, was a common studio convention in the decades after photography became practical. His middle name, Valentine, matches the holiday on this board, but the record draws no connection between the two. Portraits like this were often made to be kept, given, or shared among family and friends.
