HAND COLORED PHOTOGRAPH 10'' X 8''. Moore, C.Bennette (1879-1939), New Orleans. Titled ''Lace Balcony, New Orleans''. Signed in pen lower right. Placed in a nice gilded frame. As a very young man Moore enlisted for the Spanish-American War and following his discharge from the service, entered the employ of Emile Rivoire, famed French photographer of New Orleans. In 1904, he purchased the studio, re-named it and proceeded during the following thirty-five years to establish a reputation for portraiture which made his name known throughout the south.
