Salt Lake,UT - c1890 - Brigham Young Photograph :
This cabinet card measures 3 7/8" x 6 1/4" mounted on a dark green matte with a gold border that measures 4 1/4" x 6 1/2". High contrast and sharp focus where very small details can be made out. Minor wear on the top right corner, and left side of the photo appears to be somewhat faded. Minor stain and scratches on the top of the photograph. This photo is by Sainsbury and Johnson who were artistic photographers in Salt Lake City, Utah. They are noted in Carl Mautz book: Biography of western Photographers. It follows: "Partnership active in Salt Lake City, 1890: Hyrum Sainsbury & Charles Ellis Johnson." This is a photomontage of Brigham Young with his name written in print at the bottom half. It appears that it is an engraving of a man's body (perhaps his own from an earlier period of time) with the real photo of Young's head. On the reverse side, is a short note about the photographers along with a handwritten date.
