EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph from the late 19th century, we are transported back in time to a studio in Chicago, Illinois. The image showcases two men seated side by side, their expressions serious yet dignified. It is believed that this portrait was taken sometime during the 1880s or 1890s. The men's attire reflects the fashion of the era, with both individuals wearing formal suits complete with waistcoats and bowties. Their impeccable grooming suggests a sense of pride and attention to detail. The interior of the studio provides an interesting backdrop for this intimate moment frozen in time. A haystack can be seen behind them, adding a rustic touch to an otherwise urban setting. This juxtaposition hints at the connection between city life and rural traditions that were prevalent during this period. While little is known about these anonymous subjects, it is clear that they share a deep bond of friendship as evidenced by their relaxed posture and comfortable proximity to one another. This remarkable portrait serves as a testament to not only the artistry of photography but also captures a glimpse into the lives of ordinary men living in America's Midwest at the turn of the century.
