This is a framed, hand-colored photographic portrait of a man, likely taken between the late 1800s and early 1900s. The image appears to be a black-and-white studio photo enhanced with hand-applied color (likely pastel or watercolor). The frame is ornate and original, possibly carved wood or gesso over wood. The back of the image includes the following handwritten notes: • “Printed by mistake” • “Burke’s Home” • “Premo” (possibly referencing a Premo camera by Rochester Optical) • A stamped date: October 17, 1916
