4"h x 2 1/2"w carte-de-visite in sepia tones of Archbishop Martin John Spalding, Bishop of Baltimore from 1864-1872. He is in a seated position, wearing a simple cape over a very elaborate surplice. He has a large, heavily decorated cross on a long chain and a large ring on the third finger of his right hand. His collar is the opposite of the traditional clerical collar, being dark in front of his throat and white all around the remainder of his neck.
