James H. Lane, glass plate negative, c. 1860-1870

A standing man with tousled hair wears a long dark cloak over a suit and cravat, arms folded across his waist. He faces the camera against a plain gray studio backdrop, with a small table and a draped chair at the edges. The black-and-white glass plate collodion negative shows fine grain and some surface speckling.
