Civil war era photograph album. Contains three CDVs of Lincoln, including a scarce version, the “Ostendorf collection Variant O-93”. Also includes 2x CDVs of Grant and one scarce CDV of Sheridan.
Ostendorf describes the history behind the O-93 Lincoln photograph as “a mystery portrait of uncertain date and ascribed to several cameramen, including Brady, is this pose of the new President. Lincoln's round-tipped collar is different from that in any other picture.” The Photographic Album. Philadelphia: Altemus & Co. Date unknown, patented 1863. 25 total photograph leaves, some photographs removed but mostly filled. Rubbing and cracks to leather. Missing a pearl from one of the clasps.
