United States Presidential Collection of Twenty-Two Carte de Visite Images of Presidents all Hand-picked Exceptional
United States Presidential Collection of Twenty-Two (22) Different First Presidents Carte de Visite Photographic Images, Individually Plexiglas Display Cased, Each CDV grading Crisp Extremely Fine to Near Mint.
This exceptional Collection of 22 Carte de Visite images of different Presidents of the United States were obviously hand-selected and carefully added over time.
