[Charles Agvent]

NEWMAN,   John  Henry   Cardinal.  SIGNED  PHOTOGRAPH. A
          4-1/4"  x  6-1/2"  cabinet  card   albumen  portrait  of  the
          theologian  who  was one of the founders and prime movers  of
          the Oxford  Movement and who later converted to  Catholicism.
          A familiar  pose  with  Newman resting his head  against  his
          hand with  his  elbow propped on a table. SIGNED in dark  ink
          below the  image  and over the photographer's  printed  name:
          "John H  Cardinal Newman/Aug 27 1886." Photographs signed  by
          Newman  are scarce, as is his signature with the addition  of
          "Cardinal"  to his name. Though the signature is over printed
          matter,  it is dark and clear. Small piece of the  photograph
          near the  very left margin is chipped off, well away from the
          image of  Newman.  Minor  creasing   at  corners.  Near  Fine
