Includes a 9th plate ambrotype with tinted cheeks of a gentleman in a pea coat, identified by the consignor as a sea captain. In a full Union case (Krainik 412, Scroll with Grapes). Ninth plate ambrotype of a rather wild looking gentleman, inside case dated 1861, and "Oswego," but some scratches on the image suggest this is not the original case. Consignor identifies the subject as being from Cheyenne, WY. In leather case with clasp. A sixth plate ambrotype depicts a man in his best - hat, tie, overcoat. He has the look of a stereotypical "riverboat gambler." In half of a pressed paper case. Last image is a cabinet card of a man with duffel bag and walking staff, with photographer's identification A.R. Moore. Lower right corner missing, so not clear what city he was in. Other Moore images that have come to market indicate he was in Gilroy, CA in the late 19th century. He had a studio in Porterville, CA which burned on July 4, 1914, at which point Moore retired. Consignor identifies this gentleman as a gold-rush miner, but cabinet photos were not popular until the 1870s and on. In 1849, when the "rush" was really on, photography was just beginning. He could still well be a gold miner (especially a young man striking out to make his fortune), but probably from a slightly later era. Provenance: Dr. John W. Ravage Collection of African American Photography Condition: Two small ambros fine. Second has some scratches of the emulsion. 6th plate also with a few scratches from a previous mat. Cabinet card with moderate toning, image a bit light.
