Up for sale is a remarkably well-documented, intact Victorian-era family photograph album containing a total of 47 original antique photographs. Unlike most anonymous antique albums, this piece serves as a fantastic historical record, featuring neat, contemporary handwritten identifications beneath the vast majority of the photo slots. The album heavily documents the interconnected branches of the Tobie, Dunham, and Sherman families, tracking lines from New England (Maine) through midwestern pioneer settlements (Wisconsin/Illinois). A notable highlight includes an infant portrait of Frank E. Tobie (labeled at 6 months old), born in the late 1880s.
• Total Count: 47 original antique photographs nestled securely within the album slots.
• Tintypes: Includes several early metal-plate tintypes (notable by their dark metallic surfaces and distinct
red/orange paper framing borders), including portraits of Fairfield Dunham and family members.
• Carte de Visite (CDV) & Cabinet Cards: A rich mix of late 19th-century portraiture documenting infants,
children, and adults.
• Historical Fashion: Excellent crisp clothing details, including sharp Civil War-era patterned hoop dresses,
plaid children\'s attire, and formal Victorian suits.
This is an incredible opportunity for regional historians, photography collectors, or descendants of the
Tobie/Dunham/Sherman lineages to reclaim a beautiful piece of family history.
