Lot 1591
Imboden, John Daniel. Handsome stereoview bust portrait of Imboden in uniform, mounted on yellow card. Toning to card and image; two areas of foxing on image; very, very faint small dampstain at top edge; tiny surface abrasions at extreme right of image; two bumped corners; surface soil; ID label pasted verso: "Prominent Portraits / No. 5469 / Major Gen. Imboden C.S.A. / Published by E & H.T. Anthony & Co. / American and Foreign Stereoscopic Emporium, 501 Broadway, New York"; owner's name penciled verso with "cavalry at Gettysburg"; some paper loss on corners verso from old mounting. The portrait itself is strong and clear. Overall, very good condition.
Stereoviews of Confederate officers are rare and, in spite of some minor surface flaws, this piece is an excellent item for the collector. (See the Clingman image above for another great example).
Estimated Value $1,000 - 1,500.
