Description: Philadelphia, PA Civil War era CDV man w unusual suit, tie, by J.A. Keenan At a time when men and women alike almost always had their photos made in some sort of dark attire, this fellow is wearing a light-colored, textured vest and trousers. His long coat is dark. his shirt is white, and his tiny bow tie is dark. He has chosen a classical prop column to lean against. On reverse is printed:"J.A. Keenan,Photographer,No. 526 South Second Street,Philadelphia." Yellowing to image. Fading to image. Soiling to card and image. Foxing (brown spotting) to image. Wear to top of image. Pencil marks on reverse. Card measures about 4 x 2.5 inches. Image measures 3.5 x 2.125 inches. My mother was a photographer who collected antique photos of all types for years. As I am settling her estate, I will be listing these photos as quickly as I am able. There are hundreds of photos to go through, and I am trying to match any information my mother may have left with individual photos. Unfortunately, Mom had dementia at the end of her life and wasn't able to tell me much about her collection. She had done a lot of research into photographers and individual pieces in her collection, and often, but not always, filed her research with the photo(s). I search for more information on the internet and in history books, but it's a slow process and it will take me a long time to complete the sorting and selling process. I am always happy to combine shipping on multiple purchases, so please check out my other listings. I will ship as soon as I receive payment.
