HORATIO SEYMOUR PAPER PHOTO IN SHELL.
HORATIO SEYMOUR PAPER PHOTO IN SHELL. Gem-sized, brass-matted albumen of Horatio Seymour, Democratic candidate for President against U.S. Grant in 1868. As noted in the Dictionary of American Biography, "A man of dignity and integrity, he (Seymour) failed practically as a statesman, largely because of his gentlemanly scorn for extreme opinions." Perhaps the most reluctant candidate ever nominated for President, Seymour refused his party's call... but was unanimously chosen on the twenty-second ballot and convinced to run. The condition is fine save light surface wear, no pin, rich tone and fine contrast. PLEASE NOTE: THIS LOT WILL BE SOLD ON EBAY LIVE AUCTIONS BETWEEN 2:00-3:00pm EASTERN DAYLIGHT TIME ON MAY 10, 2002.
