- Title
- Joseph Andrew Casler c. 1895
- Description
- This youthful bust-length portrait captures Joseph Andrew Casler (1875–1962) in his early adulthood, likely during the late 1890s. The image utilizes a soft vignette style, a popular photographic technique of the era that focuses all attention on the subject's face by allowing the edges of the portrait to fade into the background. Joseph is dressed in the formal attire of a young gentleman, featuring a high, stiff collar and a dark waistcoat. While the photographic style and lighting are strikingly similar to the later portraits of his parents, Melissa and George, the subject's youthful appearance suggests this sitting occurred several years before the family's later studio visits.
