This carte de visite features a sweet toddler and his/her adorable dog. The child exhibits a hint of a smile while the dog appears to be displaying a wonderful smile. To say the least, the dog seems happy to be at the photographic studio to pose with his little master. The child is wearing the customary unisex gown that children that age wore during the cdv era. This photograph was taken at the studio of Pierre Buretier in Seraing, Belgium. SOLD
This carte de visite portrait features an African American woman. The woman is either a slave, former slave, or a free woman at the time of this photograph. The cdv image was taken sometime between the pre civil war period and shortly after the conclusion of the civil war. Her hat indicates that she is wearing her Sunday best but she is also wearing an apron. Was she “kitchen help”? This photograph is an excellent remnant of American and African American history. The image brings up thoughts about one of America’s most shameful periods in it’s history. (SOLD)
This carte de visite portrait features a pretty teenage girl posing with her mandolin. She is dressed in fine fashion. There is an inscription on the reverse of the photo. The inscription appears to be the girl’s name. She was photographed by Pierre Fevre (1880-1914). He operated a studio in Mery, Aube, France. In the 1911 census he is listed as a photographer in Mery. In 1914 he was killed in the Great War (World War I). 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)
This original carte de visite portrait features a well dressed pretty young woman She was photographed at the studio of renowned photographer, Karl Lutzel. His studio was located in Munich, Germany. There is an inscription on the reverse of the cdv. I had difficulty obtaining a complete translation. I believe that the inscription states that the woman in the photograph is the wife of Bernhard Fischer. It is also my theory that “Schraidy?” was her maiden name. I would appreciate any help with the translation. (SOLD)
This carte de visite features a dapper young man wearing a corsage, derby hat, and a bit of a bewildered expression. Take note of his wand. I call it a wand for lack of a better description. One thinks of wands as being related to magic. However, not all wands are associated with magic. In fact, wands also are symbolic objects of power. The photographer of this cdv image is George Evans who operated a studio in Worcester, England. This cdv is in excellent condition (see scans).
