Dabbs. B. L. H.: Japanese in Pittsburgh


Japanese in Pittsburgh

Opening: $160
Hammer Price: $160
SOLD
Skylight Gallery 33
October 2011

CDV-format albumen print of showing the young Japanese acrobatic performer "All Right" in Pittsburgh circa 1875. With reverse imprint on card "B. L. H. Dabbs / Photographer / 90 & 92 Federal St. Allegheny City, Pa. / Removed to 46 & 48 St. Claire Street, Pittsburgh." The card also bears penciled inscriptions at top front and back which appear to read "All right" / "Tres bien."   ( Inventory# id186 )

"Little All Right" is supposed to have gained his name from reassurances to the audience that he was "all right" after apparently hazardous stunts.

Overall tones of card good, I would say 7-8 out on a scale of 1-10. Some abrasion of image at top of card.
