Lot Description

Lot of 11 CDVs, plus Texas ephemera. Five CDVs are town views, including one with the backmark of Henry Doerr of San Antonio, showing Mission Concepcion in that city; one with the backmark of Louis De Planque, Traveling in the State of Texas, showing a mule-drawn carriage in an unidentified city; an uncredited view, likely by De Planque, looking across a pontoon bridge over the Rio Grande from Brownsville, TX, into Matamoros, Tamaulipas, Mexico, ca November 1866, while Brownsville was under Federal occupation following the end of the Civil War (the 114th US Colored Troops were stationed at this crossing and the view looking the other way clearly shows an African American US soldier guarding the bridge); an uncredited view of a town on the banks of a river, likely Brownsville; and a view of an unidentified plaza, suggested to be Matamoros or somewhere in northeastern Mexico.

The remaining CDVs are a series of 4 portraits of young siblings by Henry Doerr, San Antonio, and 2 portraits of children by Marks of Houston, TX, both with revenue stamps on verso. Also a handbill for the Order of Exercises of the Galveston Female Academy, June 28, 1871.

Condition

Edge wear and light soiling. Mule-drawn carriage with two creases across the print.
