<p>[QUOTE="Jerry Coker, post: 4284196, member: 18802"]I was going thru some photos of a recent family album I picked up and I thought this CDV was kinda' cool. The back mark is W.H. Cunningham, Traveling Artist. I had not seen this kind of mark on the back of a CDV or Cabinet before ("artist"). I believe the CDV is from around 1864-1870, based on the square corners, size of image (sitter), double lines (one thick, one thin) & a Google search that came up with a W.H. Cunningham photographer near Independence, Kansas between 1860-1870. Was "traveling artist" a common photographers mark on CDV's? I picture some guy with a horse pulling a wagon full of equipment, on a dusty/lonely trail on the prairie, selling his photographs to recent settlers. Of course, all that in my mind <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie49" alt=":happy:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]344244[/ATTACH]</p><p>[ATTACH=full]344245[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
