Description: Keokuk, IA CDV man w piercing eyes, mustache, 1880s Iowa by E.P. Libby This is a nice portrait, a the man regards the photographer by looking just off camera with his clear eyes and maybe just the hint of a smile. His suit looks like a heavy wool, and his collar is straight up. The card has stamped in purple ink below the image:"Libby, Photographer, Keokuk" On reverse, also in purple, is:"E.P. Libby'sNew Photographic Parlors." Written in brown fountain pen is the negative number "3024." Yellowing to image. Some fading to image. Light soiling to card & image, and a couple of spots. Wear to top left corner. Green card measures 4.125 x 2.5 inches, and the image measures 3.625 x 2.25 inches. Overall yellowing to image. Fading to image. Light soiling and surface scratching to both. Image is in nice focus. My mother was a photographer who collected antique photos of all types for years. As I am settling her estate, I will be listing these photos as quickly as I am able. There are hundreds of photos to go through, and I am trying to match any information my mother may have left with individual photos. Unfortunately, Mom had dementia at the end of her life and wasn't able to tell me much about her collection. She had done a lot of research into photographers and individual pieces in her collection, and often, but not always, filed her research with the photo(s). I search for more information on the internet and in history books, but it's a slow process and it will take me a long time to complete the sorting and selling process. I am always happy to combine shipping on multiple purchases, so please check out my other listings. I will ship as soon as I receive payment.
