- Lot Description
Album containing 46 CDVs, many from the Elmore and Taylor families, including portraits of the following individuals: Albert Rhett Elmore; although unidentified, a portrait of who is believed to be Grace Brown Elmore; KIA Flag Bearer James Hunt Taylor; South Carolina politician and Confederate Cavalry General Wade Hampton & Wife; South Carolina Senator Franklin Harper Elmore; composite cartes of the Confederate Cabinet and Confederate Generals; composite view of John Wilkes Booth and his conspirators; and additional ca 1860s-1870s portraits of family and friends, many identified in period ink.
Many southern photographers are included in the collection, such as Wearn & Hix, Columbia, SC; W.A. Reckling, Columbia, SC; George S. Cook, Charleston, SC; Quinby & Co., Charleston, SC; H.A. Olwell, Mobile, AL; M. Sancier, Mobile, AL; W.E. Craver, Memphis, TN; and W.D. McPherson, New Orleans, LA; among others.
An additional CDV worth nothing is a view of a Yankee lady, as identified on verso, named Ada Miller, given to Albert G. Hotchkiss. This Yankee lady was the fiancé or girlfriend of Pvt. Albert G Hotchkiss, Co’s. H & M, 8th New York Cavalry. Hotchkiss was taken prisoner at Stony Creek Station on June 29 after the Battle of Gaines Mill. He was in the hospital at Andersonville prison on 8/27/64, and died on 8/29/64. His Father came south to claim the body and bury him in an elaborate grave in Rochester, NY. James Hunt Taylor was killed June 24th at the Battle of Gaines Mill. It is unclear why the family had this photo, but it is possible that it was given to a Confederate soldier, possibly J.H. Taylor or Albert R. Elmore, to give to Hotchkiss in prison or send home.
Condition
Light to moderate wear to cartes, with just a few in somewhat rough condition.
