Troughton26f, 1860s carte de visite by William Thomas Gird of Whitehaven

Portrait of a young man wearing a knee-length coat using both his cane and a chair back to steady himself for the camera. Clean shaven, a handkerchief bulks from a vertical breast pocket and a substantial watch chain is visible on his waistcoat. The photographer has applied a vignette and added a plant to the pedestal in front of a painted balustrade.
