CABINET CARDS
Note: Corrections made to text after publication of the printed catalog are noted in bold red.
273. Lincoln by F. McNulty of Springfield, IL, 1883. (#O-41.)
As noted on a printed legend on verso, this is "From an original negative
taken in 1861, just before leaving his home for Washington City, and believed
to be the only one in existence taken previous to his inauguration as
President of the United States. This is the last negative taken of him
in Illinois." Barely noticeable mounting remnants surround the portrait
visible only when angled to the light and at edges on back of mount, one
small spot of albumen loss at very bottom of border, great tone and contrast,
overall, quite nice. (Est. $600-800)

274. A gorgeous example - from the original negative.
A stirring cabinet card by M.P. Rice of Washington, D.C., his 1891 copyright
scratched into the plate and printed with a detailed legend on the bottom
of the mount: "Abraham Lincoln. From the only original unretouched
negative, made in 1864, at the time he commissioned General U.S. Grant
Lieut. General of all the Armies of the Republic..." Minor band of
tone at lower title, very minor mounting remnants on verso, one of the
better specimens we've encountered. A truly special photograph of our
greatest president at the height of his administration. (Est. $1,000-1,200)

275. Photographic oddity. Multiple-image carte-de-visite photograph
of Mary Todd Lincoln mounted on a cabinet card. Imprint and backmark of
M. B. Brady, Washington, DC. Various inked ownership inscriptions on verso,
including Presented by Richard Barthelmess 4/27/56 (possibly the screen
actor and silent film star). One barely noticeable tear or crease along
right edge. We have been advised this could be a Brady Studio proof example
- most definitely from the original negative. (Est. $500-700)

276. Cabinet card of Robert Todd Lincoln, a portrait from about
the time he served as Sec. of War under Garfield. Minor age to titled
mount, overall a fine example. (Est. $200-300)

277. Jefferson Davis cabinet card by Sarony, NY, circa 1880. Late-in-life
photos of Jefferson Davis are quite rare and desirable, compared to the
more common CDV images from the Civil War era. This example is in fine
condition with some light age toning, and wear on the verso caused by
the removal of a label. Overall a nice image of the Confederate President.

study of the heroic Union officer and his horse, an original 3 x 4" albumen
(mounted to a sheet 7 x 5" overall) with exceptional contrast and dark,
rich tone. Save for a surface abrasion, the photo is in very fine condition.
Marked in pencil on verso "Shenandoah in Flames p. 63" where a copy is
reproduced. (Est. $200-400)

281. Playing dominos while waiting for the Confederate retreat!
1862 Brady photograph, titled on verso: "Comte de Paris, Duc de Chartres,
Prince de Joinville & friends. Camp Winfield Scott, near Yorktown,
May 1, 1862." The French attaches to General McClellan posed for several
photographs just three days before the siege of Yorktown, VA, officially
ended. Confederate forces, under General Joseph E. Johnston, were routed
after a full month of attack by McClellan's forces. The French observers,
in American uniforms, enjoyed officer's privileges as official guests
of the Army. A rare, important study. (Est. $250-350)

282. Pair of mounted albumens, 1862 M. Brady copyright, with advertising
imprint from Snow & Roos of San Francisco. Paste-down titled label

and "Principal Landing and Road to Yorktown." Light, even age to boards,
the photographs quite strong. (Est. $200-300)

283. Pair of mounted albumens, 1862 M. Brady copyright line, with

the "Old Frame House on Fair Oaks Battle Field, pierced by hundreds of
bullets, and used as a Hospital by Hooker's Division." The other presents
"Principal Street, with Court House, Yorktown." Light age to mount, both
quite excellent. (Est. $200-300)

284. To quote members of the 5th Dimension, "Up, up and away...
My beautiful, my beautiful balloon!" A rare, 1862 mounted photograph
from Brady's Album Gallery, #427, titled label on verso: "Prof. Lowe reconnoitering
at Battle of Fair Oaks, and telegraphing to McClellan's Headquarters."
Slightly light, full board, quite rare outdoor scene. This photograph
was taken May 31, 1862 with Lowe ascending in his hot air balloon, "Intrepid."
In the October 26, 1861 issue of "Harper's," an article on balloons states
their use in combat was first seen in 1859 in the Italian War. Lowe proved
the value of this new technology... but didn't impact battleplans very
much. Together with another rare outdoor study of Lowe and
his baloon, this a 3 1/4" square photograph on a slightly larger, untitled
board. An excellent pair. (Est. $300-500)

285. Two (2) Gettysburg battlefield images published by John C.
Taylor, Hartford, CT, albumens printed from Brady's original negative.
Used in Brady's War For The Union series, 3 1/2" X 3 7/8", similar in
format to Brady's gallery card photographs. One is titled "Sugar Loaf
Mountain, Gettysburg". The view shows the battlefield, and two men sitting
in a cart at the top center; the other is detailed as "Woods on the left
wing, Battle of Gettysburg, in the middle ground a dead soldier." The
dead soldier is clearly seen in the lower middle portion of the image.
Scarce studies with excellent tone and detail. (Est. $100-150)

286. Brady can be seen in the photograph! Group of
five (5) "The War for the Union" mounted albumens printed postwar from
the original negatives by John Taylor of Hartford, CT. 3 1/2 x 4", three
with moderate foxing; the example picturing Capt. Perins's captured "Secesh
Horse" (the photographer Mathew Brady is seen on the right holding his
hat aloft) and that picturing two large mortars are quite bright and clean.

STEREOVIEWS
[The Shelter Island Collection.] The following lots represent one
of the finest collections of stereoviews to reach the market in recent
years. They reflect a passion for documenting every aspect of the War...
and likewise that unique medium of photography that found a place in almost
every Victorian parlor in the country. The beginning of stereoview photography
coincided with the Civil War making this one of the most documented occurences
in the history of the 19th century. Viewers - most rather simple, hand-held
optical devices to hold the cards one at a time, others being quite elaborate,
ornate table-top pieces of furniture - were ubiquitous. These images were
a source of wonder, education, and "entertainment." NOTE:Most
of the examples presented here are in remarkably clean condition with
Anthony and Anthony/Brady pasted-down titled copyright labels on verso.
Unless otherwise noted, these are on early, flat yellow
mounts (a few are noted as being on flat orange mounts), and free of any
condition faults. We simply present the title as published on each study.
This is quite a special opportunity we are proud to offer.
287. Note the corpse on a table resting atop some barrels.
An excellent occupational view of a very busy man, "Dr. Richard Burr,
Embalming Surgeon, Army of the James." A bit light, uneven tone, quite
rare. (Est. $400-500)

mount, quite a famous study. (Est. $300-500)

290. Rare stereo of William Seward and family at home in Auburn,
New York, c. 1865-6, imprint of H.R. Lindsly, Auburn, NY. In period ink:
"Scene in William Seward's Grove, Auburn." Sec. of State Seward
is seen sitting to the left of the little girl in white. To the far left
and right are, what look like, his two sons Frederick and William, Jr.
The women look to be wearing mourning dresses. Seward was most probably
convalescing in Auburn after the attempt on his life in April 1865. Excellent
detail. A special item. (Est. $200-300)
