I don't think the photo is particularly old, do you?     It looks as if it could be early 20th Century?
I don't think photography was advanced enough to take a photo like that in the 1850-60s.

Just guessing mind you.     ;)

I agree....like I said earlier it looks more like early 1900s from the oval mount and dress of the gent.Just my opinion. How big is the photo and is there anything on the back Bailey? oval mounts didn't appear until the 1870s if I remember correctly.

Is this actually an early colour photo. The colours shown in my restoration appeared as I brightened and highlighted the photo to get more definition. I have not added any colours myself to this restoration.

Good morning,

Colour photography had been experimented with from the mid to late 80s but the first commercially successful process was 1907. The Lumiere brothers autochrome system.

I have four hand tinted Carte de Visites from the 1870s....also Dags and Ambrotypes have been hand tinted as early as 1860s.
