Mammoth Plate Portrait of Abraham Lincoln by (LINCOLN, ABRAHAM.) Gardner, Alexander - 1863
by (LINCOLN, ABRAHAM.) Gardner, Alexander
Mammoth Plate Portrait of Abraham Lincoln
by (LINCOLN, ABRAHAM.) Gardner, Alexander
- Used
Albumen print (18 1⁄2 x 15 in.), gold-ruled mount (22 x 18 in.) with Gardner's imprint. Mount and print with minor soiling and foxing. A rare survival.
A classic mammoth portrait of Abraham Lincoln, showing the President just days before he delivered the Gettysburg Address.
A giant of American photography, Alexander Gardner is credited with introducing the large-format Imperial portrait to the United States while working as a staff photographer for Mathew Brady. Gardner left Brady's employ in early 1863, and his studio quickly rivaled Brady's for the quality and extent of its war and portrait photography. Gardner first photographed Lincoln as president-elect while working for Brady, and he went on to take Lincoln's portrait more than any other photographer. Lincoln sat for Gardner on several occasions, usually visiting his studio on Sunday to avoid crowds.
Lincoln sat for this splendid large-format portrait on Sunday, November 8, 1863. His private secretaries John Hay and John Nicolay joined him. Hay noted in his diary that "We had a great many pictures taken … some of the Prest. the best I have seen." Ostendorf notes that this portrait, one of five made that day, "emphasized Lincoln's long, lanky legs." Lincoln delivered the Gettysburg Address on November 19, 1863, just eleven days after this portrait was made.
The large-format Gardner portrait is rare and much sought-after. Another example was sold at Sotheby's on October 5, 2011, lot 43, for $98,500. Only a handful of copies survive, several of which are trimmed and cropped. We are not aware of any other uncropped example in private hands.
This mammoth photograph, in original condition with the Gardner mount and imprint, is a rare and important survival.
Provenance: descended in the family of Colonel Oliver Perry Taylor, of the 161st Ohio Volunteer Infantry, sold Cowan's, 4-5 December 2008. Early inscription on verso with erroneous final sentence: "Abraham Lincoln. Sunday Morning Febry 26th 1865. Presented to O. P. Taylor by Dr. Chas. Gentrick then residing at Washington). The last photograph of Lincoln – only six copies were printed when the negative was accidentally broken."

[Gold Mining] [Utah] [Photography] Simon Bamberger. Three Cabinet Cards of Bamberger Delamar Gold Mines Co. [Delamar, Nevada?] [Photographer not identified][Circa 1902-1909] Three photographs 9.5 x 12.2 cm mounted on cards 13.5 x 15.7 cm. Very good. Simon Bamberger was a Utah entrepreneur who was the fourth Governor of the State of Utah and the first non-Mormon. He was involved in hotels, railroads and mining. In 1902 Bamberger acquired the gold mining properties in Delamar, Nevada. After sinking a new shaft completed in 1906, the mine closed in 1909. These photographs show the milling of timbers for the mine and are identified by handwritten notes on the back: "De Lamar, Nevada. Interior of Bamberger De Lamar Gold Mines Co.'s sawmill. Here all the timber is framed for the mine. The timber is used to support the earth above the timber." Unusual views of milling timbers used to support the mining tunnels, an important element of hard rock mining, and an uncommon association item with an important… Read More

About fine. An original print of one of the sequence of superb photographs taken by Yousuf Karsh on location in South Africa during the filming of the 1964 Diamond Films production, ZULU, directed by Cy Endfield. Karsh's invitation to join the production and photograph the cast and locale resulted in a sequence of photographs of a very high order. The present image, half-length formal portrait of future political leader Mangosuthu Buthelezi in character as Zulu King Cetshwayo kaMpande, shows the subject from waist up, dressed in animal skins, with an enormous elephant tusk arching in the background. The image is identified as "No. 5-17" in the series and captioned "Chief Butalezi [sic] in his ancestral robes." Although this project is not as widely known as Karsh's formal portraiture, examples of the resulting…

Description:
Against a stark horizon in a harsh climate, settlers in Nebraska everywhere erected monuments to their optimism. The buildings pictured in Dreams in Dry Places are not just famous landmarks like the State Capitol but also humble farmhouses, barns, grain elevators, courthouses, banks, churches, stores, and theaters. They represent every kind of architecture to be found in Nebraska--folk, high-style, commercial, residential, pioneer, and modern; the unexpected and the familiar, the poetic and the prosaic, good and bad. Caught by Roger Bruhn's camera, these structures always suggest the spiritual resources of their builders and inhabitants, who struggled for a livelihood on the Great Plains.Dreams in Dry Places has an architecture of its own, beginning and ending with images of the natural landscape and in between revealing unexpected continuities among disparate structures and settings, juxtapositions of forms, and the vanities and vagaries of architectural style. Exterior and interior shots are…
