Lot of 10 CDVs, all but one with imprint of C.K. Bill, New York, one with Brady imprint. Most identified in period pencil on verso with a December 1863 or June 1864 date. One carte notes Frigate Alexander Newsky on verso. These are undoubtedly portraits of members of one of the Russian ships sent by the Czar in support of the southern blockade and who spent the winter being feted by the citizens of New York City. Identified subjects include: Captain M. Fedofiofski (misspelled Fedoroffsky); Lieutenant Constantine Moiselif; Lieutenant Novopilski; William M. Leontieff(?); Pilken; A.N. Dolgoff(?); and Haussmann. Built in 1862, the Alexander Newsky was the flagship of the distinguished Rear-Admiral Lessfoski. She was a first-class 50-gun frigate, with 4,000 tons burden and 800 horse-power. The rigging and sparring of the Newsky were similar to vessels of the same class in the US Navy. Previously sold in these rooms, June 14, 2000, Historic Americana Auction, Lot 209. A fine and rare group. Condition: Light, even toning to CDVs. Few with scattered spotting on image. Light wear to mounts. Overall very good.
