A collection of twenty-one cartes de visite of various significant musicians, authors, poets, and artists from America and Europe, dating c. 1860s. The majority of the CDVs are photographs of painted or engraved portraits, with seven being original photographs of the subjects. The photographs are mounted in groups on cardstock, and each is labelled with the name of the subject. The individuals pictured range in time period from the late 1400s to the 1860s, when the CDVs were produced. No photographer is listed, but the photos likely originate from New York, as the archive they belonged to focuses on New York politicians. [
