| 2. |  | Jane Clifford 1865 (ca) Armour Helmet Albumen print 13 3/4 x 10 1/8 Charles Nes Photography LLC New York - Paris In an email from Lee Fontanella (1 Jan 2010) who has spent considerable time researching the issue, he proposed that Charles Clifford made the negatives prior to his death in 1863. Jane Clifford made the positives and in letters to London she wrote that she could supply sets of the Armoury photographs. Jane Clifford certainly made negatives and positives of the "Treasures of the Dauphin". The attribution of this photograph to Jane Clifford, wife of Charles Clifford, has been questioned as there were a number of photographers including Charles Clifford and Jean Laurent who took photographs in the Royal Armory at about this time. Further research is required to ascertain the photographer with certainty. (Alan Griffiths following emails from Paul Frecker and Gerardo Kurtz, March 2007) |

Marville/ Photographe /Du Musee Imperial/du Louvre" Additional information provided by Robert Hill [pers. comm. 20 June 2010]. The photographer Charles Marville had a good working relationship with the prominent Paris architect Paul Abadie (1812-1884). Abadie was commissioned to create a new City Hall in Angouleme around the remnants of a 12th C. castle in the centre of the city. He started the project in 1858 and finished it in 1867. When it was finished, he asked Marville to photograph both exteriors and interiors. Comparisons with contemporary photographs confirm the location. |

October, 1862. Entered according to Act of Congress in the year 1865, by A. Gardner, in the Clerk's Office of the District Court of the District of Columbia. Incidents of the War. President Lincoln on Battlefield of Antietam. Published by Philp & Solomons, Washington. Positive by A. Gardner, 511 7th St., Washington" printed in margin recto. Plate 23, from "Incidents of the War…" by Alexander Gardner. Original caption: On the 1st of October, 1862, two weeks after the battle of Antietam, President Lincoln Visited the Army of the Potomac, encamped near Harper's Ferry, in Maryland. He was accompanied on his trip by Major General MclClernand and Staff, Colonel Lamon, the Marshal of the District of Columbia, and Mr. Garrett, President of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad. The President reached General Sumner's headquarters, on Bolivar Heights, at Harper's Ferry, on Wednesday, occupied the afternoon in reviewing the forces at that position, and spent the night at general Sumner's quarters. On Thursday morning he recrossed the Potomac, and was met by General McClellan and Staff, who conducted him during that the following day over the scenes of the recent battle, and in reviewing the various quarters, occupying much of the time in private conversation with him. In this conversation, it is said, that when the President alluded to the complaints that were being made of the slowness of the General's movements, General McClellan replied, "You may find those who will go faster than I, Mr. President; but it is very doubtful if you will find many who will go further." On Saturday, the President set out on his return home, accompanied by General McClellan as far as Middletown, but on the way, riding over the battle-field of South Mountain, the leading incidents of which, the scenes of particularly desperate conflicts, the names of the Corps and officers engaged, &c., were pointed out and described by the General, as he had previously done those of the great battle of Antietam; in all of which the President evinced a deep interest. The President then proceeded to Frederick, where he was received by the people with the most enthusiastic demonstrations of respect, and reached Washington in a special train at ten o'clock at night. |

| 41. |  | W. & D. Downey 1868, September Princess Alexandra with her daughter, Princess Louise Carte de visite Paul Frecker Paul Frecker provides the following comments: "A carte-de-visite showing Princess Alexandra with her daughter, Princess Louise, born in 1867. Taken in September 1868, it was intended to show that the Princess had fully recovered from the bout of rheumatic fever which had struck her in the late winter / early spring of 1867. It proved to be the most popular carte-de-visite of its day. In 1885 Downey remembered that somewhere in the region of 300,000 copies had been sold, and it's not hard to see why. Compared to the stiffness and formality of most portraiture at this time, and Royal portraiture in particular, the freshness and spontaneity is like a splash of cold water!" |

Japanese Boys Coloring Pictures and Using Stereoscope Stereoview, color lithograph Private collection of Rob Oechsle Stereoview No. 676 shown above started out as an original, high-quality photographic view taken by T. ENAMI of Yokohama, Japan -- as many as 10 years before being printed in the USA as you see it here. The "Green Mount" version shown here was published by SEARS, ROEBUCK & CO between 1906-1910. (The "White Mount" versions were made only in 1905, and contained no descriptions on the back). Before Sears got their hands on it, it had already gone through many real-photo reprints by T.W. INGERSOLL, a large Mid-Western America stereoview publisher. Sears simply converted a real-photo version into a lithograph. The photograph was carefully retouched to brighten the faces, and their art department colored away (using hand applied tints) to their heart's desire --- according to every whim of their imagination. The particular backdrop he used here is one of a few that appear in formerly un-identified albumens tipped into important works such as Brinkley's 1897 "Japan: Described and Illustrated by the Japanese". |
