Leatherbound album of ca. 1960s "Victorian" style carte-de-visite photos of Patricia Tierney's friends gifted to her Author: (Estate of Patricia Tierney) Title: Leatherbound album of ca. 1960s "Victorian" style carte-de-visite photos of Patricia Tierney's friends gifted to her Description: Hardcover. Measuring 6 x 5 inches, with clasp, repurposing a ca. 1865 photo album by filling the 29 slots with what appear to be CDV sized photos, with Ms. Tierney's friends or family all dressed up in vintage clothing and hats to emphasize the 19th century motif. Inscribed in handsome calligraphic hand on the flyleaf: To Pat -- the most eminent Victorian of them all -- with love from her devoted "family." The 29 portraits, printed with a slightly yellow tint, the subjects all exhibiting the somber expressions well known in 19th century photographic portraits, speak of a very laborious effort that's paid off in this small and subtle livre d'artiste. Tierney was at one point engaged (in 1964) to Robert Prunier Davis (1929-2005), a painter, novelist and film-maker, and both of them apparently lived at some point at 60 Sutton Place South, a desirable address. Unclear from online info if they did indeed get -- and stay -- married. Probably assembled in the late 1960s. Good.

Just received my purchase from RareBookStore and I couldn't be happier. The seller graded the book conservatively, which is a welcome relief from all those eBay booksellers who describe their products through rose-colored glasses. The seller packing the book with unusual care--it arrived in a solid cardboard carton with two layers of protective wrapping to protect the book. I so appreciate that level of attention. Suffice it to say, this seller earns my highest recommendation.

Wonderful set, described very well, mailed promptly (given the complexities of packing up heavy books). The books were sent in two boxes that were VERY carefully packed against damage during shipment. They are heavy, and the seller took care to make sure the boxes were stable and wouldn't break down during transport. I appreciate the seller working with me on the price a bit, too - a good value. A+ transaction.
