This is NOT a "Real Photo" per se ... but rather an 1800's hand-drawn lithograph image from a photo image.Authentic 19th Century "Photo-View" / "Photo-Lithograph" cards like this one were based upon actual photographs; lithographers transferred the photo images to lith stones or plates, often taking slight "liberties" in the process... ... perhaps removing a distracting object, or adding people (who are often disproportionately sized).This photo lith is nearly identical to a known c 1880 photo. NOTE: US MINT sidewalk people are smaller than the fence!19th Century Photo-Lith images are historically important and can be as detailed and rare as period photographs.

Advertising imprinted on the top margins.The architectural photographer Frank Cousins was relentless in assembling and publishing photos of important buildings.Cousins' Salem, Mass., "Bee-Hive" store was noted for its huge sales inventory of photographs, printed cards, books, etc.Countless 1880's advertising cards were issued by Cousins, but his photo-lith trade cards featuring buildings are RARE. Wikipedia: "Frank Cousins (photographer) worked as a young man in the dry goods store, J.B. & S.D. Shepard. Cousins and his brothers opened their own general store at 170-174 Essex Street in Salem in 1868. His brothers passed away and Cousins continued to run the store, calling it Frank Cousins Bee Hive." As his business became more successful he was able to indulge in his interests in studying New England architecture through writing and photography. Over the course of his life, Frank Cousins took tens of thousands of images and sold them at his store and to more specific audiences (architects, publishers, libraries) through his business "Frank Cousins Art Company." • RARE: circa 140 Years Old - Antique 19th Century Card: Photo -related Business Advertising Card + Over 1,000+ more fabulous antique & vintage cards are currently listed at the Dave Cheadle Card Store.
