Rare Circus Cabinet Photo Barnum Giant & His Wife Taken By Charles Eisenmann
RARE CIRCUS CABINET PHOTO – BARNUM GIANT & HIS WIFE – TAKEN BY CHARLES EISENMANN – You are considering a souvenir cabinet card of a giant standing beside his wife. I own a different view of him and his wife standing next to one another for a sense of scale, but this is the first example of this image I have seen taken by Charles Eisenmann at his legendary photo studio at his 14th Street address. CONDITION : Please view my detailed photos for the actual condition of this item and as part of my description. The cabinet card has fair contrast and some obvious fading. The image is sharp and the mount is in excellent condition. You can clearly see that the Eisenmann’s photography stamp at the bottom of the mount on the front side and his famous stamp on the backside. There is a faint rubber stamp where the performer’s name and info would appear, but the stamp was not properly inked and pressed to be legible. This item is in the category “Collectibles\Photographic Images\Photographs”. The seller is “nic-o-matic” and is located in this country: US. This item can be shipped to United States.
