Valuable Collection of Thirty Cabinet Card Photographs of American Presidents, Famous Actors, Poets & Many More
c. 1860 Mid to Late 19th Century, Thirty Cabinet Card Photographs. Including various American Presidents, Actors, Poets, Lawyers & Others, Choice Very Fine.
A quite valuable and extensive Hand-Collected custom Collector Album, measuring 10.75” x 8.5” housing 30 Cabinet Photographs of a variety of Famous and Important 19th century historic figures, including:

Presidents: Abraham Lincoln, William H. Taft, and Chester Arthur, and (Young & RARE) Theodore Roosevelt;

Poets: Walt Whitman and Longfellow;

Lawyers: Clarence Darrow and William Jennings Bryan;

Actors: Edwin Booth, Ellen Terry, and Julia Marlow;

Politicians: James G. Blaine, Chauncey De Pew and British Prime Minister W. E. Gladstone. Also, Inventor: (Young & RARE) Thomas A. Edison;

Reformer: Henry Ward Beecher; Author: Washington Irving; and the great Ferris Wheel at the 1893 Columbian Exposition in Chicago.

Other unidentified Cabinet Card Photos are certainly of prominent figures of the time. Most of the photographer’s imprints are not visible from the face side (not inspected out of their sleeve holders), yet those that are include: Pach Bros., Sarony, Pell, Bell, Sherman & McHugh, Baker, and Beck. The exterior of this album is worn from use and some of the photo holders pages have slight tears, while the actual photographs are quite choice with good contrast in quality. A valuable and very useful collection easily worthy of our modest estimate range. (30 items)
