This cabinet card portrait features a young and handsome naval sailor in uniform. He is wearing a medal on his jacket. He is likely a British sailor but that is only a hypothesis. This navy man was photographed by the Barry studio, located in Hull, England. The print advertising the studio, seen under the image, is in gold leaf style. This cabinet card photograph is in very good condition (see scans). ADDENDUM: A current resident of Hull has advised me that the young man in this photograph is not a sailor, but in fact, he is a schoolboy who attended the Trinity House Nautical School in Hull. The medal is some form of commemorative or school medal. I was also informed that this photo dates back to circa 1890-1900.
