Lot Description
[EARLY PHOTOGRAPHY]. CDV of itinerant photographers with a camera. [Salem, PA]: C.L. Leonard's Portable Gallery, ca 1860s.
CDV on cardstock mount, showing a trio of young men standing beside a large camera visible at far left (toning to print, small puncture to right edge of mount slightly affecting print). Verso with imprint of C.L. Leonard, a photographer that appears to have been active around Salem, PA, during the 1860s.
The men wear clothing that appears to be dirty, perhaps a result of the trade.
