- Lot Description
Lot featuring 75 studio portraits of prominent mid-to-late nineteenth century actors, actresses, and entertainers who performed on the American stage. All but three images are identified. Handwritten identifications appear to be in multiple hands.
Many of the CDVS in the collection are attributed to prominent theater industry photography studios/photographers including Jeremiah Gurney of New York, Washington Lafayette Germon, and Charles D. Fredericks & Co.
Performers in the collection include theater royalty such as Junius B. Booth and John Wilkes Booth, as well as Charlotte Cushman, Anna Dickinson, Mr. John Drew and Mrs. John Drew (early ancestors of the Barrymore family of actors), Maggie Mitchell, Owen Marlowe, Ettie Henderson (sometimes Ettie Lewis), Charles Kean, Lucille Western, McKee Rankin, and many more.
Note that the CDVs remain in their pages, but the pages themselves are loose and not contained in any type of binding or album.
Many of the cardboard pages are soiled particularly along the edges, however, the images are generally in good condition with some having minor soil.Condition
