EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the enigmatic figure of Henry James Hungerford, a man whose life story remains shrouded in mystery. Taken in the 1880s, this silhouette portrait showcases his striking features and impeccable sense of style. Henry James Hungerford, also known as Henry James Dickinson and Baron Henri de la Batut, was not only the nephew of renowned scientist James Smithson but also the son of Smithson's half-brother. His lineage connects him to an illustrious scientific institution that would later become the Smithsonian Institution. Dressed in a fashionable coat that reflects the fashion trends of 19th-century America, Hungerford exudes an air of sophistication and refinement. The details captured by this carte de visite highlight his impeccable taste in clothing and offer a glimpse into the fashion choices of that era.
