[AFRICAN-AMERICAN  PHOTOGRAPHS].  YALE CLASS ALBUM  1864.  [1864].
Folio  (10-1/4"  x 13-1/2") bound in full publisher's morocco  stamped
in  blind and gilt. Images are oval @ 5" x 6". There are 156 portraits
of  students and faculty, all signed, (including Benjamin Silliman Sr.
and  Jr. and Theodore Woolsey), 25 images of buildings and views,  and
2  occupational images of African-Americans. Images for the most  part
are  sharp  and dark. There is some waviness to about ten or so  pages
at  the  rear, including the two portraits of  African-Americans,  but
the  effect  on  the images is minimal. Rubbing to hinges  but  covers
firm. Generally Very Good.                                    $4000.00
