This carte de visite shows a young man with a tasselled headdress. The studio mark ‘R. Shultz’ is imprinted at the bottom of the carte. Studios were already established across the Strait Settlements and the Dutch East Indies by the 1840s and became increasingly prevalent in the 1850s. During the 1920s, Chinese-owned studios dominated the studio photography trade in Southeast Asia.
