Albumen prints mounted on card, back-prints of the "Star Photograph Gallery - C.L. Weed, 120 Michigan Ave., Detroit, Mich. - Commercial Work a Speciality." Images a little faded, small dog-ear where print has lifted a little on one of the cards, one mount slightly creased, but overall very good. Detroit, n.d.Splendid front and back views of the highly pictorial Mr. Melbournia. The fading of the images means that the exact nature of his tattoos is not entirely clear. However, a three masted ship in full sail is discernible in the back view and the front view shows off his fine set of epaulettes and elaborately designed necklace with portrait "locket". The ship device, together with the subject's pierced ears and the crossed anchors on his webbing belt would suggest that he was a sea-faring man. A scarce and unusual image, the National Library of Australia have a copy of the the front view, but not the rear (PIC/3683).

The photographer Charles Leander Weed (1824-1903) is best known for his early studies of California, particularly of Yosemite.
