Old Swiss Man
This is an old family photo. It was taken probably by the Taeschler photography studio in Basel, Switzerland (somebody cut most of the part with the studio information off! It wasn't me!). I have no idea who the man was but his birthdate (July 16, 1789) and the date the photo was taken (Oct. 2, 1862) are carefully and beautifully written in German on the back. Sadly, no name is given.
Date & Place:
in Basel, Basel-Stadt County, BS Switzerland
