Carte De Visite – Antique Photograph Lot Daguerreotypes - 12 Images

Cartes De Visite – Antique Photograph Lot – Daguerreotypes – Men – Women – Children  12 Images
 

• This lot came from a collector of photographic ephemera.
• All of these are original photographic prints, not modern printed copies.
• Five images are of men. Three are classic Carte DeVisite cards (approximately  7 5/8” x 4.25”). Two are of the same person, the name on the back of one of those is Frank Alfred Rylander. The small, narrow card with the image of a man on it appears to be a Daguerreotype: changing the angle of viewing shows a negative image. On the back it looks like there is the name “Gridley” and Josie Smith first husband. The name might be Grisley or Grinley.
• The other narrow card with the young child on it has a notation on the back indicating it is Melvin Gridley. It also looks like a Daguerreotype. The photo of the infant mounted on a dark card has no marks. The Carte De Viste of the young man has the entire back of the card is covered with names and dates from 1901 to 1915.
• There are three Carte De Visit cards with women and one photo of a woman mounted on a dark card. None have names.
