This is a nice studio, CDV size cabinet photograph of the 1880-1890 period.   Wide brim western hat,  revolver in holster on His left hand side, and holding a single shot rolling block rifle.  Hunter, cowman, frontiersman, who knows? Nice photograph.   The strange thing is that someone using a fountain pen has tried to completely eliminate the photographers mark on the back.   I can read John C. Guteas (?),  Peoples Art Gallery,  San Francisco, California.   Why try and ruin the mark? Horrible to do this to any historic image.   Stupidity.
