Toulmin, commander of the Alabama State Militia, planter and statesman, To Captain Samuel Gibbs French (promoted to captain earlier that year for bravery at Monterey and Buena Vista, Mexico), concerning supplies shipped to the Army in Mexico in which there apparently was some irregularity as to count and also alleged mold. with unsigned docket on verso by French. French would later be a major general in the Confederate Army, and Toulmin's son, Henry Theophilus Toulmin, would served as colonel of the 22nd Alabama Infantry. In very good condition.I ALWAYS CHARGE AS CLOSE TO THE ACTUAL SHIPPING COST AS POSSIBLE. For all domestic orders I use the printed shipping labels via Paypal and USPS, and I always show the cost of postage on the labels. I AM ALWAYS HAPPY TO COMBINE ITEMS FOR PURPOSES OF SHIPPING. And I would be happy to combine items won over a period of seven days. While I invoice at the end of each action buyers have the option of paying at one time for items combined over a period of days. Payment is expected within ten days of the sale, and foreign buyers must use Paypal unless other arrangements are made with me. Communication is the most important aspect of a pleasurable exchange - I am always available to answer questions and in return would appreciate buyers communicating with me as to method of payment and also any problems with the transaction. I always try to leave feedback when I ship items, and would appreciate return feedback. I like the new star system instituted by eBay but keep in mind that these stars have a strong bearing on a seller's reputation and I strive for five stars if at all possible. Payment Back to Top I accept the following forms of payment: PayPalMoney OrderPersonal Check Shipping & Handling Back to Top $2.20 USPS First-Class Mail® Policies All Photographs Are original Back to Top I sell only original photographs and described as fully as possible. I do not offer reproductions or any other form of copies. When I state that a photo is vintage, it is vintage; when I state that it is original, it is original. Often scans are enlarged for viewing purposes and sometimes are partially trimmed to accommodate the scan. And margins are almost always trimmed away in my scans. Please always note the size given. About Tintypes Back to Top Tintypes are measured differently than later photographs. A full plate tintype is approximately 6.5 by 8.5", half plate 4.5 by 5.5", fourth plate 3 by 4", sixth plate 2.5 by 3.25", ninth plate 2 by 2.5", and sixteenth plate 1.25 by 1.5" (generally referred to as a gem tintype). Because tintypes were usually placed in albums, along with CDVs, they were often trimmed at the corners, as CDVs often were, and also occasionally a trimmed along the sides to fit in albums. So often a sixth plate, for example, may be trimmed to less than a width of 2.5". Tintypes, which are in fact not tin but iron, developed about the same time as CDVs, during the 1850s. The fact that a tintype is a one of a kind, unlike CDVs which can be duplicated from the negative, makes it unique. but also often the tintype provides a greater detail of the subject. Like all photography, much depends on the practitioner as to quality. But I find that the better tintypes seem to delve more into the personality of the subject than CDVs. The greatest drawback to tintypes is that rarely is the photographer identified - usually on occasion when the tintype is encased in a paper frame. It is also difficult if not impossible to identify the subject of a tintype unless noted in an album. But certainly the tintypes has a charm all its own. What are CDVs? Back to Top This question comes up often as I list quite a few CDVs and also because the term is often misused on eBay. CDV simply stands for carte de visite, a calling card, and just as the original term is French so the process began there in the 1850s. The CDV combines a paper print by the albumen process, quickly replacing the old glass images of the ambrotypes, with a card the size of the then standard calling card, around 2.5 by 4". Ambrotypes produced a single copy on glass, the albumen process produced a negative from which any number of prints could be made - thus on many of the early CDVs it was important for the photographer to note that more prints were always available. CDVs only arrived in the United States around 1859, literally on the eve of the Civil War during which the demand skyrocketed as soldiers and their loved ones sought an image remembrance. And the Civil War created a demand for an early form of trading card, CDVs of generals and political leaders. They would, in turn, be replaced fairly much in the 1870s by the larger Cabinet Cards, the same process but on a larger 4 by 6" card. CDVs cannot be Cabinet cards and Cabinet cards cannot be CDVs.
