12 images, comprised of 11 CDVs and one cabinet card. Most are uncredited. Three with full or partial US Internal Revenue stamps on verso. Highlights include:
Cabinet photograph on cardstock mount of a horse-drawn wagon stopped outside a large building. The reverse side of the mount includes a portrait of a woman, possibly an actress.
