Lot 1343
Ericsson, John. Two cartes de visite of the inventor of the USS Monitor. The first image, a seated waist-up portrait, shows a young Ericsson. Mounted on a thin card, indicating a pre-Civil War date, there is minor foxing to the image and very minor buckling of the card. Overall, very good condition. The second image, another seated bust portrait, shows Ericsson later in life, likely in the mid-1860s, with Charles D. Fredricks, New York backmark, silver border. A few edge scrapes; faint marks on verso from tape removal; otherwise, a good strong image, about fine.
Estimated Value $200 - 300.
