Young Man Looking Successful - High Quality Vintage Graduation Photo - Late 19th Century Cabinet Card suspension_bridge with the Rio Grande sometimesThis dapper young man just had his hair freshly cut and has a fresh new collar (men's collars were usually replaceable, starched paper, buttoned on to the shirt.)for this photo. Likely taken for an 1890s graduation from a professional degree program, this man tried to look his best with a rather fancy outfit which was not hard to find in the era's manufacturing boom. The silk scarf (tie) and detachable collar were tucked into a nice three piece suit.
