Of the 100 glass plate negatives, 18 are 8″ x 10″, including Teddy Roosevelt at his desk (ca. 1896), varying views of the White House ca 1903, Library of Congressca 1903, Maryland State House ca 1903, George Washington’s Tomb and Mount Vernon. Remainder of glass plate negatives are 4″ x 5″ and 8″ x 5″ including views of Spanish-American ships (The Great White Fleet) USS New York, US Battleship Iowa, USS Battleship Texas, US Warship St. Louis and troop ship St. Paul all on review in New York harbor. Other images include photos of Spanish-American troops, railroad stations, railroad cars and engines, view of work on Panama Canal from the French effort era, Maryland 3rd AC War Games (9 different views), miscellaneous portraiture, landscapes and more. Also in archive, is a 10″ x 12″ gelatin photograph of group of Spanish-American War era Illinois National Guard troop, including one member wearing Congressional Medal of Honor and Civil War Army of Potomac medal. Also in lot, 11 Indian War era cabinet cards, including albumin image of Geronimo holding a Dance Revolver with pencil inscription on verso stating “…a prisoner of ours at Ft. Sill”. Other cards include 2nd generation images of Little Bighorn combatants Benteen, Godfrey and Lt. James Calhoun. SIZE: Smallest: 4″ x 10″. Largest: 8″ x 10″ CONDITION: Very good overall. Glass plates all have excellent contrast and are very good/fine overall. Several have reductions to emulsions, but all appear to have been stored well, two of the glass plates are broken, but these are both portraiture and can still be easily printed. The 5-1/2″ x 4″ Geronimo card is albumin mounted on black board with soiling and staining. Small fold in bottom right hand corner of albumin and mounting board is chipped with rounded corners. Indian War cards are average overall with some scratching, soiling and damage to cards. The three US 7th Cavalry officers appear to be photographs of photographs, all on heavier cardstock, mounted to period cards, and do not appear original to era. Glass plate negatives of the White House and Teddy Roosevelt are mostly quite fine. The view of Roosevelt is quite unusual, showing him sitting at his desk with scattered paper trash about his desk; his walls have seven framed prints, apparently of American naval battle scenes. His desk has panoply of arms carved along with relief carved gunboat on the visible edge. Large gelatin image of Illinois National Guard has several large cracks including upper right hand corner being broken off and repaired, scuffed and rounded corners. It shouldn’t be hard to identify seated Colonel wearing Medal of Honor and Army of the Potomac medals. 52429-2 (2,000-3,000) – Lot 2062A
