Description
For your consideration I am offering an outstanding collection of cdv’s and tintypes from the Henry Alderson Ellison family estate of Baldwin County, Alabama. These images were purchased by the late Robert Cauthen in the 1970’s from a descendant. Please examine the images and unusual photographer’s back mark on many of the images in which I have provided for your inspection.
A sampling of some of the identified photographers are:
11.P.H.Rose Galveston, Texas
12.C.Barnes Mobile, Alabama
13.J.T.Wilson Mobile, Alabama
Unfortunately these images were removed from the original album by the descendant of the Ellison family at the time they were sold to Mr. Cauthen back in the 1970’s. Any identification of the subject’s was lost with the album.
There are roughly close to 90-100 images.
