I a photo from Fritts signed exactly like yours. Are they worth anything?
ReplyDeleteAs a rule, a cabinet card from this era is not worth much unless it is by one of a handful of photographers such as Mathew Brady or Alfred Stieglitz. Or if they happen to be a photograph of someone famous or infamous. A cabinet card in good condition with a photographer's imprint, and subject identification or dated on the reverse, might be worth a couple dollars to me. They are quite plentiful. I will investigate photographer C Fritts next. Check back.
