It is not known if they were photographers or just a reprinting company that produced photos taken by well known photographers of the time. (SOLD)

This Cabinet Card presents an attractive woman in a beautiful dress. She is wearing a “choker” necklace, a cross, and earrings. Note her somewhat unusual hairstyle and that she is wearing bangs. In addition, the woman in this portrait achieved an hour-glass type figure with an assist from a corset. A corset is a garment that was worn to mold a woman’s torso into a desired shape. Typically, corsets reduced the size of woman’s waist and exaggerated the size of their bust and hips. SOLD

This carte de visite portrait features a pretty young woman. She is wearing a lace collar, earrings, and curls. She is identified by an accompanying note. Her name is “Nellie Smith”.She is posing for her portrait at the studio of E. S. Dunshee in Boston, Massachusetts. Photographer Edward Sidney Dunshee was born 1823 in Bristol, Vermont and died in 1907 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. In 1857 he and Cornelius Dunshee (his father) were photographers in Falls River, MA. He produced ambrotypes and daguerrotypes there. He next operated out of New Bedford, MA. One of his New Bedford clients was Henry David Thoreau, who sat for a portrait in 1861. By 1873 he and Thomas Rice Burnham operated as Dunshee and Burnham in Boston, MA. Between 1873 and 1876 he and Edward Byron Dunshee were in business as E. S. Dunshee and Son and located on Tremont Row in Boston, MA. By 1880, Edward Sidney Dunshee had moved to Philadelphia and apparently, after some time, his son took over the business. It appears that E. S. Dunshee had his last studio in Trenton, New Jersey (1894-1901). This cdv is dated 1878. Dunshee’s photography resume is confusing because different sources offer slightly different histories. In addition, the fact that his father and son were photographers, further clouds the accuracy of his biographical material. Clearly some writers have confused and entangled each of the Dunshee’s life story. (SOLD)
