Lot Description
[EARLY PHOTOGRAPHY]. Cabinet card of an advertising display for BRADLEY & RULOFSON at an exhibit.
Cabinet card featuring a landscape-oriented scene showing a Bradley & Rulofson photographic display set up at what appears to be an exhibition. San Francisco, CA: Bradley & Rulofson. Verso bears photographers' detailed pictorial imprint in gold ink.
Sitting behind a glass display case containing images is a man with a goatee, likely either Bradley or Rulofson himself. Signage pictured atop the display boasts of the firm's "National Gold Medal" award, which was won first in 1874, and again at the 1876 Centennial Exhibition.
