Judging by the inclusion of a book, the man may well be a Rabbi and certainly a scholar. The backside gives the couple’s last name, as inscribed by grandchildren. What is so beautiful here, is the aged, bent figure of the pious old man in contrast with his wife, who shows a most sturdy figure. Photographed by Russian Jewish photographer G. Frankel. A great historic image from Jewish life in the old Shtetls of East Europe. This is a classic 19th century photo. There is normal expected age wear.
