American Press Association event occurring August 6 1910 reverse of photo dated August 10. Silver gelatin print photograph 6 9/16 x 8 1/2 inches. Small chip and slight creasing to bottom lower corner faint impression to top from marking on reverse. The three men in the photo are framed from the torso up. The photograph shows the wounded Mayor Gaynor who survived the attempt but died three years later from lingering effects supported by two unidentified "friends." The reverse bears typed notes to the effect that the photo was taken by the American Press Association's photographer unnamed and that the photo was taken moments after Commissioner Edwards knocked the would-be assassin a disgruntled former city employee to the ground. Gaynor was aboard ship in New York Harbor about to depart for a European vacation when the attempt occurred. He was shot at point blank range in the throat. The outlines of the Mayor's hat and coat as well as the two men's faces have been enhanced by hand presumably for press reproduction. unknown

Part I offered here includes five albumen prints mounted to boards of "Orators Statesmen Authors Novelists Artists Philosophers.
Each of the five mounted photographs is preceded by a protective sheet of tissue paper in tact though wrinkled. The five photographs show a group of luminaries in the following fields: "Politicians Conservative" "Politicians Liberal" "Authors and Novelists" including Charles Dickens Wilkie Collins Thomas Carlyle "Science" including Charles Wheatstone Michael Faraday "Artists" including J. M. W. Turner John Everett Millais and Edwin Landseer. The page preceding the last group photograph of English Artists indicated that a second volume was anticipated "early in 1877." The artists' page has separated from the spine as has the first copyright page which is chipped along margins creased and missing upper left corner. The pages are securely held together at the spine even though they have lost their cover. The albumen plates are somewhat light as might be expected. Various degrees of foxing throughout chipped corners of the photographic boards. Overall condition is fair to good. A fascinating assemblage of 19th century English culture. unknown

Photograph Painted. Albumen print of a 19th century woman
Photograph Painted. Albumen print of a 19th century woman
An unusual compelling albumen photograph painted to highlight the youthful face hands and neck of a 19th century woman. Light ruffles around the neck and wrists also highlight her jewelry as well as her rather severe long sleeved high neck dark dress. Something about the image evokes Nathaniel Hawthorne. The 6.5 by 8 inch albumen print is attached to a 7 by 8.5 hard board that has darkened and dried with age. The photograph may have been heavily painted with oils. Condition: since the paint is of uneven thickness it creates both a shimmery effect in good light as well as a sheen in a scan that creates the effect of fading. The board does show chipping along the edges slightly affecting the upper and lower corners of the photograph; tape residue on verso. unknown

American Press Association event occurring August 6 1910 reverse of photo dated August 10. Silver gelatin print photograph 6 9/16 x 8 1/2 inches. Small chip and slight creasing to bottom lower corner faint impression to top from marking on reverse. The three men in the photo are framed from the torso up. The photograph shows the wounded Mayor Gaynor who survived the attempt but died three years later from lingering effects supported by two unidentified "friends." The reverse bears typed notes to the effect that the photo was taken by the American Press Association's photographer unnamed and that the photo was taken moments after Commissioner Edwards knocked the would-be assassin a disgruntled former city employee to the ground. Gaynor was aboard ship in New York Harbor about to depart for a European vacation when the attempt occurred. He was shot at point blank range in the throat. The outlines of the Mayor's hat and coat as well as the two men's faces have been enhanced by hand presumably for press reproduction. unknown books
