Remarkable Collection of Hand-ColoredRemarkable Collection of Hand-Colored Civil War Magic Lantern Slides A collection of approx. 170 beautifully hand-colored Civil War magic lantern slides made from paper photographs and stereoviews originally produced by popular Civil War-era photographers including Mathew Brady Alexander Gardner Timothy O'Sullivan A.J. Russell and George Barnard. The majority of glass slides measure 3.25 x 4 in. Most lack a paper border and are not covered with a protective glass sleeve and only a select few have handwritten or paper labels including: a handwritten label identifying the photographer as George Barnard; a printed label with only H. Mc legible which almost certainly refers to the T.H. McAllister - Keller Co. Inc. a lantern slide manufacturer active in New York City during the 1890s and known for producing glass slides many hand-tinted. Also included is a small group of black and white slides most featuring images of a GAR reunion and parade. One of the black and white slides has a printed label from Theodore J. Harbach / Manufacturer of Philadelphia.The collection is comprised of images of the leading military and political personalities of the war post-battle shots capturing the dead in the field broken earthworks occupied forts and bombed buildings plus views of supply wagons Union and Confederate camp scenes hospitals and prisons. Several shots of the Navy as well as Union and Confederate Ironclads on the James River are also included. The group features images from both the Eastern and Western Theaters with the vast majority taken from military and naval operations in the East. Some highlights include:The Marshall House Alexandria VA where the Union suffered its first loss with Col. Elmer Ellsworth (Pywell)Lincoln with McClellan after the Battle of Antietam (Gardner)Gen. "Fighting" Joe Hooker in front of Hospital (Brady)Father Thomas Mooney leading Sunday Mass 69th NY Infantry Regiment (Brady)The Michigan Black HatsUnion Train derailed near Manassas VAThe Confederate engine GeneralThe locomotive Fred Leach after being hit by small arms and cannon ballsUSS ShawsheenUSS Atlanta Ironclad patrolling the James River (Brady Organization)USS Lehigh Monitor probably on the James River (Brady Organization)The "Bean Pole" Bridge over the Potomac Creek (Russell)Gen. U.S. Grant and Staff at Cold Harbor (Brady)Gen. U.S. Grant with his horse CincinnatiLibby PrisonField Where Gen. Reynolds Fell Gettysburg July 1863 (O'Sullivan)Additional views of dead Union and Confederate SoldiersRuins of Charleston SCA few days after the burning of Richmond VAVictory Parade marching to Washington D.C. (Barnard)Gen. R.E. Lee and Staff on Richmond Porch (Brady)This group was discovered in Philadelphia in 1963 and has been in the hands of the current owner since then. There has been some speculation that this could be a portion of the magic lantern slide collection that once belonged to Mathew Brady's nephew and employee Levin Handy but there is a lack of provenance to support that assertion. While certain details in the slides suggest that they could have been produced by someone who knew Brady well (i.e. the Marshall House shot in which Brady can be seen in the lower right corner wearing a yellow duster which he typically wore) the absence of Brady's War for the Union paper labels combined with the fact that the work of a variety of photographers including those outside of Brady's organization such as A.J. Russell are included in the collection suggests otherwise. Based on the paper labels that are present from New York and Philadelphia and the fact that this collection was found in Philadelphia it is more likely that the glass slides were produced by a manufacturer and highly talented colorist in one of those two cities. Regardless the collection features some of the finest examples of hand-tinted 19th-Century Civil War photography that Cowan's has had the opportunity to offer. Condition: A small portion of the slides are cracked mostly along the edges or corners.
