Description:
Carte-de-visite (kleine foto bevestigd op kartonnen ondergrond) van Delft. 13 x 9 cm. Photo with some stains.Op de foto staat 'Gemeentelandshuis' maar tegenwoordig bekend als Gemeenlandshuis, hoofdkantoor van Hoogheemraadschap van Delfland. Laat-gotische huis aan de Oude Delft 167, gebouwd in 1505. De eerste eigenaar was Jan de Huyter, de schout van Delft en baljuw van Delfland. Hij was ook pachter van accijns op hop. Daarom werd het huis wel het huis met de bellen genoemd naar de interieurversiering met hopbellen. Later was het gebouw van Philips, graaf van Hohenlohe die getrouwd was met Maria van Nassau, een dochter van Willem van Oranje. De hoofdingang van het Hoogheemraadschap bevindt zich tegenwoordig aan de Phoenixstraat.

Description:
N.p.: N.p., n.y. [likely 1865]. 2½" X 4". Good only. Edgeworn and lightly soiled, with homely crease at upper right corner; mounting traces on verso. Fairly attractive image nonetheless. The wife (1836-1915) of Union General George McClellan was the daughter of his former commander; they wed in 1860 and she bore him two children. This charming steel-engraved portrait shows her seated, half-length, in a large bulky black dress, hand clutching a handkerchief in her lap. Despite hard wear, the image is strong and bold. Uncommon.

Description:
Celebrated 19th century midget. Uncommon tinted carte-de-visite photograph, 2 3/8" X 4", New York, NY, 1862. Very good. Decorative backstamp on patterned verso of "Ranger's Photograph Parlors, / 28 East Genesee St. / Franklin Buildings, / SYRACUSE, / N.Y." On the recto, within a fine gilt double-rule border, a 2 1/8" X 3 3/8" albumen full-length portrait of Houghton has been affixed, with fine print caption in red beneath: "Maj. S.E. Houghton, / 20 Years Old--Height, 31 Inches,--Weight, 41 lbs." The image is clear and there's a bit of hand tinting -- the top of a small table next to Houghton appears green and a flowing drapery next to that is purple. The card itself shows a slight bit of wear and mild age toning. Houghton, along with the better known General and Mrs. Tom Thumb and lesser lights such as Lizzie A. Reed, Houghton was another of the sideshow celebrities (many of whom adopted military titles) who satiated the American public's taste for novelty. This particular card was reissued a number… Read More

Description:
Nagasaki, Japan: No Publisher Listed.. Very Good+. 1880. Other. B&W Illustrations; Two Carte de Visites from Nagasaki, Japan c1880-1890's. The first view is of the Bund of Oura - the waterfront where westerners were allowed, with Sampans in the water. The Second view is "Oni no Jere" The Temple of Devils on a hillside. Both cards are in Very Good+ condition, with some beginning tidemarking / foxing to the edges. "A series of encounters between the West and Japan in the 1850s ended Japan's isolationist trade policies. In particular, the treaty with Russia, signed on February 7, 1855 established Nagasaki as an open port and, further, granted extraterritoriality privileges to foreigners living in Japan. These encounters finally culminated in 1859 when the Ansei Treaties, and in particular the Harris Treaty with the United States, took effect. These treaties demanded immediate opening of ports, and also established generally unequal trade relationships between the… Read More
