[QUOTE="ScanticAntiques, post: 48613, member: 339"]Last one for the night! :) Bought this today while I was out and about. I had honestly never heard of a Sphereotype before, "sphereotypes is a process patented (US patent #14,696 I believe) by Albert Bisbee in 1856. It was essentially a positive collodion image on glass that was exposed through a spherical mask – hence the name sphereotype – which was the same size as the mount that was to enclose it or case it was to be put into" Anyway, lovely picture. Photograph is by C. L. Howe (who was pretty notable) Read a few articles on the fellow. [ATTACH=full]12169[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]12170[/ATTACH] I know it's a long shot but figured, maybe he's a notable person. Anyone recognize this fellow! Warm Regards, Scantic Antiques[/QUOTE]
