A man sits upright in a brimmed hat, posed the way studio portraits of the 1800s usually were, with sitters often holding still through exposures that could last several seconds. The record does not name him, so the picture is best read as an example of dress and portrait conventions of its era rather than a record of one life. It appears on a board devoted to Ford's theater in Washington, D.C., where President Abraham Lincoln was shot in April 1865, and it offers a glimpse of the everyday people who lived in the city during those years.
