A Fine Set of Mutton Chops
This fellow has some rather striking mutton chops. He is probably from the 1860s or 70s. Note also his lack of necktie.
This lack of a necktie is quite common in 19th Century American portraits, even on men who look quite mainstream and respectable. The collar button however, is nearly always buttoned, and in this case, closed with a shirt stud.
Also note the velvet collar on his frock coat.
