Lot Description

[EARLY PHOTOGRAPHY]. A group of 7 items identified to E & H.T. Anthony, including rare CDVs of Edward Anthony.

2 CDVs featuring vignetted bust portraits of Edward Anthony, one capturing him in profile (uncredited) and the other capturing him at a slight frontal angle (Philadelphia: James Cremer's Portrait Rooms). -- CDV portrait of a woman identified on mount as "M. E. Anthony," posed sitting before a studio backdrop featuring rows of tents and a river winding through tree-lined landscape. Uncredited. -- Cabinet-sized silver gelatin bust portrait of Henry T. Anthony in profile. Uncredited, but on a mount with his name printed below a thick black (possibly mourning) border surrounding the portrait. Verso bears penciled date, "1884," which is the year Henry died. -- Together, 4 images.

2 volumes of Anthony's Photographic Bulletin, being Vol. 6 No. 5 (May 1875) and Vol. 17 No. 5 (March 1886). Both with original wrappers, but the 1875 volume is almost completely disbound, with heavy chipping and losses to wrappers and wear to page edges. 1886 volume with front wrapper disbound. -- Disbound page from an unknown volume advertising E. Anthony's 501 Broadway location with colored engraving and text describing Anthony as a "Manufacturer of Photographic Albums, Publisher of Carte de Visite Photographs and Stereoscopic Views." There is a significant separation extending from the left edge of the advertisement through more than half of the page. -- Together, 3 printed materials.
