UNIDENTIFIED PHOTOGRAPHER
Carte de visite portrait of Winslow Homer
Circa 1867
Rag matted and framed with an original autograph signature of Homer

HIS image belongs to the period Homer spent in Paris, 1866-1867.

Another example of this carte de visite is in the Homer family photograph album in the Bowdoin College Museum of Art. A much enlarged reproduction of the protrait is the frontispiece of the catalogue, Winslow Homer, Paintings of the Civil War, an exhibition organized by the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco in 1988.

Accompanying the autograph signature, the letters N.A. indicate Homer's membership in the National Academy to which he was admitted in 1865.
