Portrait Photograph of a Gentleman with Pince-Nez Glasses

This is a monochromatic photograph, likely from the early 20th century, depicting a gentleman with fair hair, a prominent mustache, and wire-rimmed glasses that appear to be attached to a cord or chain, suggesting they could be pince-nez style. He is dressed in a dark suit with notched lapels and is wearing a white collared shirt with a dark tie. The lighting is soft, with a vignette effect, creating a focused portrait. The background is a muted, undiscernible color. The image has a sepia tone or has yellowed with age, indicating it is an older print, possibly a silver gelatin or a similar early photographic process print. There are no visible manufacturing marks or signatures. The condition of the photograph appears fair, with some minor wear and discoloration visible in the image itself, consistent with age. The subject's attire and the photographic style strongly suggest this image dates from the late Victorian or Edwardian era through the 1920s. The quality of the photograph suggests it was taken by a professional photographer, with careful consideration given to lighting and composition.
