The old photo looks like a cabinet card from the late 1800's. I don't believe the writing on the back is in English.

Text on the front of the old card seems to be the photographer, Ebba Munck, and location, Strömsund.

Here are more examples:

Text on the back is likely info and the man's name in the picture.
Possibly 1916-1919 based on other info
