About this photograph

A 1920 nitrate negative by Theodor Horydczak showing a man dressed in nineteenth-century clothing. The photograph was taken in Washington, D.C., where Horydczak worked as a commercial photographer.

The subject's period costume places the image within a tradition of historical portraiture or theatrical documentation, though the record does not identify the sitter or explain the context of the sitting. Whether the photograph was made for personal, commercial, or commemorative purposes remains unspecified.

The negative is part of the Horydczak collection held by the Library of Congress.

Compiled from the catalogue record and reference notes on the formats and events involved. The archive record above is the primary source.
