<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Figtree3, post: 839542, member: 33&quot;]Well, good luck with it! </p><p><br /></p><p>The one that Kronos found from eBay that sold for $350 is an edition by the John E. Potter Co., not Coates &amp; Porter. John E. Potter were the original copyrighters and thus most likely published the true first edition. The copyright page in the eBay one looks very different from the one on Google Books that I found. From looking at antique photos from the 1860s I can say that I have seen some copyright statements on carte-de-visite photos that look quite a bit like the copyright statement in the Google Books example.</p><p><br /></p><p>Anyway, maybe it doesn&#039;t matter that the auction company may have been incorrect in calling this a First Edition. It depends on your audience, I guess. That company does not appear to be a book dealer. Their web page says, &quot;At NAAC we are a professional Auction House, but more importantly we are Professional Marketers. From our detailed and outstanding graphic designed advertisements to our professional Studio Photography, our company is working tirelessly to bring in the new buyer. Unlike other major auction houses who rely solely on their past succusses to hopefully sell your items, NAAC is constantly marketing to bring the next &amp; new collector to achieve record setting prices.&quot; From</p><p><a href="https://northamericanauctioncompany.com/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://northamericanauctioncompany.com/" rel="nofollow">https://northamericanauctioncompany.com/</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
