Photographica

[Every year, as we catalog cartes, cabinet cards, and other photographs, we are reminded that the history of modern photography coincides with the election of our 16th president. Once again, we are pleased to offer a selection of significant portraits and photographica to our fellow Rail Splitters. “O” numbers refer to the Lincoln portraits cataloged by Charles Hamilton and Lloyd Ostendorf in Lincoln in Photographs.]

	One of the only outdoor photographs of President Lincoln – an original on Alexander Gardner’s mount. This example exhibited at Lincoln In New York: A Rail Splitter Bicentennial Celebration. 30. President Lincoln on Battlefield of Antietam,1862. This albumen image was photographed by Alexander Gardner, “Incident of the War President Lincoln on the Battlefield of Antietam, October, 1862”. On the 1st of October, 1862, two weeks after the battle of Antietam, President Lincoln visited the Army of the Potomac, encamped near Harper’s Ferry, in Maryland. He was accompanied on his trip by Major General McClernand and staff, Colonel Lamon, the Marshal of the District of Columbia, and Mr. Garrett, president of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad. Lincoln reached General Sumner’s headquarters on Bolivar Heights, at Harper’s Ferry, on Wednesday; he occupied the afternoon in reviewing the forces at that position, and spent the night at Gen. Sumner’s quarters. This historical image, printed by Gardner, is also in Gardner’s Photographic Sketch Book of the Civil War, 1865. Image is 9 x 6 ^3/4”, mounted to 15 ^3/4 x 12” overall. Fine, rich contrast and detail. A very difficult original, period photograph to source. (Est. $20,000-25,000)
	31. Mounted 6 x 8” albumen of “President Lincoln” by Mathew Brady on titled 8 x 10” board. This popular photo in a rarely-encountered format was the basis for the $5-bill portrait. Excellent contrast and tonality, mat burn surrounding image, small burn mark above Lincoln’s head with scattered areas of chipping in the background and perimeter. (Currently a comparable example is being offered on a fixed-price list of a prominent midwestern dealer for $18,500!) This would present well with archival mat and frame. (Est. $4,000-6,000)
	32. Similar to the preceding lot, on mount with Brady & Company credit at very bottom. Published 1864-5, small paper remnant at top can easily be removed or matted out, irregular trim at bottom. Sold with the original mat, toned but very easily cleaned. To have two of these specimens in one auction presents an exceptional opportunity. (Est. $3,000-5,000)
	A true, Lincoln photographic rarity. 33. Mounted salt print of Lincoln, #O-21, approx. 2 1/2 x 3 1/2” on a 4 x 5” mount. This uncommon pose was one of two taken by Springfield photographer William Marsh on May 20, 1860. This was two days after his nomination for president. Convention delegate Marcus Ward of NJ (later Governor) visited the nominee and requested a portrait. Not having a satisfactory one, Ward and Lincoln walked over to the local photographer for a sitting. In-between exposures, Lincoln used his fingers to comb his hair. Slight foxing to board, typical age. We have encountered only two examples of original salt prints to come onto the market in the past twenty years. (Est. $1,500-2,500)
	34. Large 7 x 10” albumen , #O-114, taken at the studio of Alexander Gardner February 5, 1865, titled on original mount: President Lincoln And His Son Thaddeus. The last photograph the President sat for. Imprint of G.F. Bouve & Co. with the added “sylvan background”. (An example realized $3,600 in our auction three years ago.) This lovely example enjoys rich tone and is in excellent condition. (Est. $2,000-3,000)
	35. The classic “Speed Portrait”, #O-55, mounted albumen, 8 x 10” overall. The photo has been ascribed to Fredricks (NY), and both McClees and Germon of Philadelphia, likely taken between March–June 1861. Small section of background is slightly faded, a few specks on suit, otherwise excellent with bold tone/contrast, full mount. (Est. $1,000-1,500)
	36. Lincoln by Henry F. Warren of Waltham, MA. #0-112. The last photo of President Lincoln, taken on the White House balcony March 6, 1865 two days after the second inauguration. Unable to get access to Lincoln, Warren came up with a plan. Every day at 3:00, Tad went for a ride on his pony. On March 5th, Warren photographed Tad on his pony. The next day he showed up at the White House to “deliver” the CDVs. When Warren handed copies to Tad, he said: “Now, bring out your father and I will make a picture of him for you.” Tad appeared in a few minutes with the President on the balcony. Published in three formats: carte, small and large-format mounted albumens, this is the large format: 6 x 8” on a 10 x 13” titled mount: “The Latest Photograph of President Lincoln taken on the Balcony of the White House, March 6, 1865.” This example was printed while Lincoln was still alive as six weeks later it would be retitled “The Last Photograph…” Mount has warm cream color, image has nice contrast. Three years ago, an example realized $3,600. A superior example. (Est. $2,000-3,000)
	37. Lincoln’s “Cooper Union portrait” by Anthony/Brady. Full board, gold-ruled, excellent contrast, gold titled, slight discoloration in lower left corner, overall quite a fine specimen. (Est. $1,000-1,500)

Choice wartime advertising carte with gem-size photo of Mrs. Lincoln in “Dolly Varden” gown and floral headpiece, set in an embossed frame of flags, cannon, a spread eagle, and Union shield; printed ad on verso for Buckingham & Ketchum, Utica, N.Y. This image, taken from an 1861 sitting for Mathew Brady, was a favorite with the First Lady, one of very few she ever consented to give as gifts. Together with a scarce CDV showing the former First Lady tastefully attired in “widow’s weeds” with her customary floral headpiece. Only two photographs are known to have been taken of Mrs. Lincoln after her husband’s death: the infamous “spirit” photo by Mumler, and this one, circa 1869. (Est. $200-250)
	60. Two (2) cartes of Mary Lincoln by Anthony/Brady. One with slight clipping on top corners, both gold-ruled. Fine. (Est. $100-150)
	61. Extremely rare carte photograph of Willie Lincoln by Brady, Washington. William Wallace Lincoln (1850-62), the third Lincoln child, was born less than a year after his brother Eddie died shy of his fourth birthday. Named for Dr. William Wallace, an in-law and physician who cared for Edward, Willie - always recalled as Abe’s favorite - was a delightful, intelligent boy. John Hay later recalled that despite “all his boyish frolic... (Willie) was a child of great promise, capable of close application and study.” Together with his brother Tad (older brother Robert was away at Harvard), the boys turned the White House into a petting zoo, an encampment for acting out battles, a theatre for plays, and much to the consternation of various Cabinet Members, site of numerous acts of mischief. Sadly, this 1861 portrait of the eleven-year-old boy predates his death by just months. Willie became ill in early 1862, after riding his pony in bad weather. He is believed to have succumbed to typhoid fever. Willie was buried initially in Oak Hill Cemetery in Georgetown but was exhumed to be reinterred at Oak Ridge Cemetery alongside the remains of his father. The CDV enjoys rich tone and detail, very slight trim to edges of board, great contrast. An remarkably difficult subject to obtain in period photography. (Est. $4,000-5,000)
	62. President Lincoln and Tad by Bouve of Boston. Variant of #0-114 by Alexander Gardner. A background has been added, which includes the unfinished Washington monument. Titled “ The last photograph the President sat for.” Bouve imprint on mount. Slight stain on lower right mount but does not detract from this mint image. With addition of sylvan backdrop. (Est. $300-400)
	63. O-114 by G.F. Bouve & Co. of Boston. Discoloration to left edge and light bumps to corners. (Est. $200-300)
	64. Tad Lincoln, photograph printed from the original negative by Frederick Hill Meserve, 3 1/2 x 2”, (sight), 10 1/2 x 13” overall in archival triple-mat. A very rare photograph (a period carte sold for $5,000), this study shows the boy in his custom-made uniform requistioned from the War Dept. Tad was issued a commission (via Edwin Stanton) with the rank of lieutenant! A lovely presentation. (Est. $300-500)
	65. Lincoln’s Springfield residence picturing the President-elect and his boy Tad. Legend on verso “The late Residence of President Lincoln, Springfield, Ill.” Sharp contrast, an excellent example. (Est. $300-500)
	66. Lincoln’s Springfield home by A.C. Townsend of Springfield. Ink identification on verso: “Le residence.” Sharp contrast, gold ruled, slight mottling detracts little. (Est. $300-400)
	67. Rare photograph of Abraham Lincoln’s only grandson. Abraham Lincoln II (“Jack”) the only son of Robert Todd Lincoln. Carte-de-visite albumen print by Max Platy of Chicago. (This is a variant pose of another CDV found in the Lincoln’s family album.) Young Jack had a deep interest in history, the Civil War, and his grandfather and could imitate his signature. He was a playmate of President Garfield’s son and White House visitor. He died at the age of 16 in 1890, a victim of blood poisoning. Dampstaining to left margin, a clear image, (ca. 1885). From the Dr. John Lattimer Collection. (Est. $300-400)
	68. Vice Pres. Hamlin: one by Anthony/Brady; one by Case & Getchell. Two (2) CDVs. (Est. $100-200)

	75. The President’s Cabinet! Five (5) Anthony/Brady cartes of Lincoln’s cabinet members: Smith, Chase, Wells, Blair and Bates. The example of Sec. Bates is quite hard to find. A fine selection. (Est. $300-500)
	76. Marvellous study of Secretary of State William Seward by Brady. Full board, gold ruled, clean. (Est. $100-150)
	77. Three (3) cartes of Sec. Seward by Anthony, Fredricks and Appleton (slight clippings). A nice group. (Est. $100-150)

	81. Sec. of War Simon Cameron by Henzey & Co. of Philadelphia. A scarce photo, excellent. (Est. $100-200)

	85. Eight (8) cartes, an eclectic group of distinguished citizens of the Lincoln-era. Save for the CDV of Swayne by Gardner, each by Brady: Samuel Nelson, Justice of the Supreme Court; John Creswell, Postmaster General during the Grant administration; Ebenezer R.

President Lincoln was a friend of Ellsworth and was deeply affected by his death and ordered that his body lay-in-state at the White House. (Est. $150-200)

Several of Frank Brownell’s friends in Troy, have procured a beautiful medal for presentation to him, bearing the following inscription: “To Frank E. Brownell, from his fellow-citizens of Troy, for his coolness and heroism in avenging the murder of Col. Ellsworth, at Alexandria, May 24, 1861. It was his duty and he performed it.” Even toning, fine. Rare! (Est. $300-500)
	91. Rare carte of Sgt. Peter Hart, one of the heroes of Fort Sumter. When the U.S. flag and pole were knocked down during the bombardment at Ft. Sumter, Hart climbed a temporary pole and nailed the flag high aloft – all the while under fire. Along with Major Anderson and the martyred Ellsworth, Hart is considered one of the first Union heroes. CDV by Anthony, some mottling, excellent contrast. (Est. $300-500)

	96. Wonderful study of John Burns, a veteran of the War of 1812, and the only known Gettysburg civilian to participate in the battle. Gen. Doubleday wrote: “My thanks are especially to a citizen of Gettysburg named John Burns, who, although over seventy years of age, shouldered his musket, and offered his servuces to Colonel Wistar.” Following Lincoln’s famous speech to dedicate the cemetery, the President sought out the “hero of Gettysburg” to attend church together. Full board, excellent contrast, one of the best extant. (Est. $400-500)
	97. Gen. Burnside by Anthony/Brady. Gold-ruled, slight browning to edges, minor abrasion to bottom of mount, fine contrast. (Est. $80-120)

Among the first to recruit volunteers for the war, raising in less than a week (April 1861) the 5th NY, known as “Duryee’s Zouaves,” he led troops in the first important battle of the war, the disastrous engagement at Big Bethel, June 10, 1861. After the battle he was made brigadier-general and commanded his brigade at Cedar Mountain, Thoroughfare Gap, 2nd Bull Run, Chantilly, and at Antietam. Slight browning around edges, excellent contrast. (Est. $200-300)
	103. Gen. Elias A. Brown of the 13th NY Vols., carte by R.A. Lewis of New York. When the Civil War broke out, Brown used his store as a recruiting center taking on the role of Brigade General for the 13th Brigade. Red-ruled, slight lightening at top left corner, excellent contrast. (Est. $100-200)

	107. A rare carte: Cavalry General David Gregg by Brady. Gregg and the 8th PA fought in the Peninsula Campaign and distinguished himself in the Seven Days expertly screening retreating Union infantry. At Chancellorsville, Gregg’s division was dispatched on a raid around Lee’s left flank to destroy facilities in his rear. At the start of Gettysburg, Gregg led the 2nd and 3rd Divisions across Kelly’s Ford to attack the flank and rear of the Confederates. In October 1863, Lee attempted to flank the Union army near Warrenton, VA. Gregg’s division delayed him until the 11th Corps arrived. Gregg commanded the cavalry division that remained near Petersburg while Sheridan was engaged in the Shenandoah against Jubal Early. Some minor fly-specks, mounting remnants on verso, with Brady’s imprint on front, nice contrast. Scarce! (Est. $200-300)

Kilpatrick on the Confederate right flank following Pickett’s charge. Sharp contrast, gold-ruled, minor foxing to portrait detracts little. (Est. $250-350)
	117. Adm. David Dixon Porter by Anthony/Brady. Porter was in charge of the Mortar Flotilla during the campaign to capture New Orleans and took command of the Mississippi Squadron, later commanding the North Atlantic Blockading Squadron. After the War, he was Superintendent of the Naval Academy. (Five U.S. Navy ships were named in honor of Porter and his father, Commodore David Porter, quite a family record!)

	160. Reuel C. Gridley by Geo. H. Johnson of San Francisco, titled “That Sanitary Sack of Flour.” To pay off a bet lost on a local election, Gridley carried a 50 pound sack of flour through town accompanied by a brass band. While celebrating afterward in the local tavern, Gridley conceived the idea of auctioning off the sack of flour for the benefit of the Sanitary Commission in relief of sick and wounded soldiers. His great inspiration was that each successful bidder would return the same sack of flour, enabling it to be auctioned off again and again. In essence, bidders were simply competing for the privilege of donating money to the cause! By the end of the day, Gridley had raised $3,500 from local miners. Buoyed by his success, Gridley took his sack of flour to silver towns throughout Nevada, raising more than $20,000 before moving on to California. Gridley traveled around auctioning the same sack for five months; at the end of that time he had raised some $150,000. His success gained him recognition all over the country; the Sanitary Commission urged him to come east. Carrying his sack of flour, Gridley arrived in New York City in January 1865 and criss-crossed the North until the end of the war. The sack of flour was sold for the last time at the Sanitary Fair at St. Louis, MO, in April 1865. (Anyone know where it can be found today?) Gold-ruled, great contrast, a fun story! (Est. $400-500)
	161. Mounted mourning albumen of James W. Duke on a military engraving, handsomely matted and framed. Duke was commissioned into the 2nd Cavalry on August 5, 1861 and died of disease on October 28, 1862. The youthful Duke is shown wearing his mud-splattered boots. An excellent tribute. (Est. $300-350)
	162. Johnny Clem, the “drummer boy of Shiloh,” who gained fame for his bravery on the battlefield with the Union Army, becoming the youngest non-commissioned officer in Army history. By Schwing & Rudd, gold-ruled, sharp contrast, some lightness to the bottom right corner. A fantastic study of someone who served from the beginning of his young life! (Est. $500-600)
	163. The Drummer Boy of the Rappahannock. A wonderful war-date, ca. 1863, carte of one of the war’s youngest heroes, Robert Henry Hendershot, the Drummer Boy of the Rappahannock. Born in 1850, Hendershot was twelve when he participated in the battle of Fredericksburg where his drum was blown to bits by a Rebel shell. The story tells us that he fought alongside the doomed men of Burnside’s Army of the Potomac. After the battle, news of the boy’s daring exploits soon reached the war-weary North; newspapers immediately dubbed him the Drummer Boy of the Rappahannock making him a national hero. Presented with a new drum by Horace Greeley replacing the one destroyed in battle, Hendershot spent the remainder of the War performing throughout the North regaling her citizens with stories of romantic adventure. Hendershot is seen here ready to call his comrades of the 8th Michigan into battle again while proudly displaying his new drum sticks for the camera. By Kerston & Barker, even foxing, a few tiny pin holes at top, excellent contrast. (Est. $500-600)

	166. Delightful hand-colored CDV of a little boy in a patriotic dress. The subject, who appears about three years old, is shown in long curls and skirt (the latter a common item of clothing for tykes of both sexes during the Civil War and earlier). He holds a tree-branch whip in one hand and rests the other on a chair, next to a toy horse pulling what is evidently a caisson. His clothing is nicely tinted in Union colors: the jacket blue, faced with white stars, the skirt and blouse striped red and white. An appealing war-era portrait; was his papa in the army? Touching. (Est. $50-100)
	167. Two (2) cartes by Um. P. Hoit, and J.R. Foster. Lovely 19th century photos of girls posing as the “Old Woman Who Lived in a Shoe.” (Est. $100-200)
	168. CDV album from the 14th NH Vols. with: a signed carte of Lt. Jesse A. Fisk (enlisted in August of 1862, killed on September 19, 1864 at Opequan, VA); Frank T. Barker (enlisted in August of 1862, discharged in April of 1864); Charles P. Hall (enlisted in August of 1862, mustered out July 1865); and a drummer boy. The 14th was the last long-term regiment furnished by New Hampshire. An immediate assignment to Grover’s Independent Brigade sent the regiment into the arduous service of defending the Potomac, above Washington, against guerrilla incursions. The nine months in Washington proved to be an experience of incalculable benefit in developing this command – resulting in commendation from Lincoln. The service in Washington was peculiarly burdensome, and the regiment was more than decimated by disease. Early in 1864, the regiment was hurried to the Upper Potomac to repel guerrilla invasion. Returning to Harper’s Ferry, the 14th was ordered “home to vote,” and with transportation via rail, they reached Concord October 28th of 1864. When the 14th was charged with holding the line at the battle of the Opequan, they lost one-third of its number in just thirty minutes. Twenty-seven (27) cartes in total. (Est. $400-600)
	169. CDV album of soldiers from the 49th PA and the 71st Infantries, including: Sgt. George Benfer (enlisted August 1861, mustered out July 1865); Sgt. William H. Fultz (enlisted August 1861, mustered out July 1865); Abraham Milliken (enlisted August 1862, discharged June 1865); William J. Mullen (enlisted December 1861, was wounded and taken as a prisoner-of-war in June of 1862 at Peach Orchard, VA and later transferred into the Navy); Corporal Emanuel Peters (enlisted August of 1861, died of wounds incurred at Cold Harbor, VA in June of 1864); and Col. Thomas M. Hulings (enlisted April of 1861, killed in May of 1864 at Spotsylvania Court House, VA.) The 49th PA joined in the campaign on the Peninsula early in 1862, performing various siege duties at Yorktown, and fighting at Williamsburg, Garnett’s and Golding’s Farms, White Oak Swamp and Malvern Hill. They were sent to Alexandria to join the Army of the Potomac at Centerville and proceeded to Antietam, engaging the enemy on the way at Crampton’s Gap. They were active at Salem Church, Gettysburg, and then joined in the southward movement of the army. It was engaged at Rappahannock Station, and was mentioned in orders for gallantry. They were in the heat of the action at the Wilderness and took part in the final assault on Petersburg. The 71st PA, originally known as the California Regiment, was recruited in Philadelphia in April and May, 1861, by Edward D. Baker, Senator from Oregon, under special authority from President Lincoln. In the engagement at Ball’s Bluff, Col. Baker fell at the head of his command while cheering his men. The regiment lost here 312 men out of 520 in action. The colors were lost in mid-stream by the color-sergeant and never recovered. In the spring it engaged in McClellan’s Peninsula campaign as part of Sedgwick’s Division, later served as rear-guard at the second Bull Run. They were heavily engaged at Antietam, where the 71st lost one-third of its number. In the battle of Fredericksburg the command lost nearly a third of its effective strength once again. At Gettysburg, where the regiment arrived on the evening of July 1, Gen. Hancock commanded the corps, Gen. Gibbon the division, and Gen. Webb the brigade. The 71st was posted during the battle upon the crest of the ridge to the left and front of Gen. Meade’s headquarters and a little to the left of the angle in the low stone wall. In this exposed position it suffered severe casualties in the two day’s fighting, losing over 40 in the second day’s contest, being subjected to a fierce artillery fire for more than 2 hours on the third day, and receiving the full force of the enemy’s gallant charge which followed the artillery duel. Altogether it lost over half its effective strength, including 9 out of 15 officers engaged, though it captured 4 stands of colors. In the campaign which followed Lee’s retreat into Virginia, it was engaged at Auburn and Bristoe Station; skirmished at Bull Run; fought at Robertson’s Tavern, and on the close of the Mine Run campaign went into winter quarters at Stevensburg. Twenty (20) cartes in all. (Est. $600-800)
	170. CDV album, the 1st CT Artillery (originally the 4th CT Vols.), raised in response to the first call of President Lincoln. Mustered into service 5/22/61, they are believed to be the first three-years regiment of any state ready for field service. They participated in The Peninsula Campaign where its services were highly commended by McClellan, the Siege of Yorktown, Hanover Court House, Chickahominy, Gaines’ Mills, and Malvern. The 1st CT also fought at the Sieges of Petersburg, Fredericksburg and Richmond. Seven (7) cartes, a nice group. (Est. $400-600)
