    RARE ANTIQUE Carte de Visite Photo of Nice Young African American Man in Beard and Wearing Oval Frame Glasses, c.1870
    DESCRIPTION:
    Nice, very rare EARLY antique photo of young African American man. All dressed up in fancy suit. Wearing early oval lens wire frame glasses.
    Scans show it all. Such early photos are very scarce, especially CdVs. Obviously the number taken was small. This is no newer than 1870.
    This came with a collection of several early, antique photos of African American subjects. Probably from the same antique album. Some are cabinet photos, identified with photographer names, and all from various towns in Mississippi, including GREENWOOD, MISSISSIPPI and HOLLY SPRINGS, MISSISSIPPI photographers. Only a few CdV's were in the collection, given their earlier period just after the Civil War.
    This is
    a great gift for the photo collectors in your family. Excellent condition overall. A great looking photo and a rare early CdV photo.
    Good early photos of Black African Americans are very hard to find, especially when identified to the state or region!
