Description

One of a series of antique photographs I'm selling that have been carefully excised from a book I own, "Harvard College Photographs." This particular book was owned by a student who graduated in 1866. The photographs were taken by George K. Warren, a noted Boston photographer. Warren was a pioneer in the field of school yearbooks, and developed a system whereby a graduating student would order pertinent photos from his stock, and the order would be assembled into a book. Each book was unique, and a great keepsake from days spent at Harvard. Each photo is an original - not a reproduction - oval albumen print, mounted on a plate that measures 13" x 10 1/4". Each mount has gold gilt edges. Grading is based on defects, as each mount has some natural aging around the edges. This is a portrait of Francis J. Child. Child (1825-1896) was for 45 years a noted Harvard English professor and philologist, publishing very important books on Chaucer, and English and Scottish ballads. Francis Gummere called him "the keenest, soundest, most loved of American scholars." The photo measures 6" x 4 3/4", and grades 10 of 10. Very nice. The mount grades 9 of 10, with a few tiny spots, o/w very nice. Postage will be $3.50, optional insurance extra. (Thanks for looking, and please take a look at the other old photos I have up for auction.) LEGALESE: No returns accepted, so please ask all questions before bidding. Checks okay, but they have to clear. Payment must be received within 14 days of notification.
