(description reads: This interesting CDV is of George Bassett, the Mayor of Sheffeld in 1875. He is wearing his chain of Office so presumably the image was taken in his Mayoral year. He also has amazing whiskers! George Bassett was the founder of Bassett’s Confectionery. The photographer was J. Stringfellow of Chapel Walk, Fargate, Sheffield. The items measurures 6.4 cm x 10.5 cm with the image area measurig 6 cm x 9.8 cm. Interesting addition to a collection.)
