Lot Description
[EARLY PHOTOGRAPHY] Albumen photograph of "Ambrotypes & Photographs" studio, possibly in New Jersey.
7 1/8 x 5 1/8 in. albumen photograph on 9 3/4 x 7 3/4 in. cardstock mount with photographer's imprint in lower margin, "G. Thorn, Photographer, Plainfield, N.J." The view captures six men standing in front of a building with a sign promoting "Ambrotypes & Photographs." Although the name of the studio is unclear, the photographer's imprint suggests that this may show Thorn's studio in Plainfield, NJ. The building appears to be draped in mourning, indicating that it may have been taking following the death of Abraham Lincoln.
Estate of David O'Reilly, Old Bridge, New Jersey
