Most of the clients who signed listed their residences from the Middle Tennessee area, but a few hailed from further environs including Charleston, Buffalo NY, Memphis, Kentucky, and as far as Mexico. (Giers Gallery book - 10 1/2" x 8" x 1 3/8". Giers and Koellein book - 10 1/4" x 8 1/4" x 1 3/8"). 3rd item: Partial C.C.

Giers," with views including the Photographic Association Studio, where C.C. Giers exhibited his work (wear to cover, toning to interior pages). (3 1/8" x 4 7/8" x 1/4"). 5th item: 3 Pages from Frank Leslie's and Harper's Weekly with engravings based on Giers photographs. 6th item: 2 photographic images of C.C. Giers including CDV with his own photography studio backstamp verso and a sixth-plate tinted tintype portrait. (CDV overall - 4 1/8" x 2 1/2". Tintype overall - 4 3/4" x 3 7/8"). 7th item: 2 Thuss, Koellein and Giers envelopes, 1 empty, the other containing a lock of hair and addressed to Miss E. Childress (both envelopes toned and torn). 8th item: Will of Carl C.

Gallagher and dated July 19, 1862. 1/2" loss at top of page. (Note: Giers was allowed to continue his photography business during the Civil War, in fact photographing numerous Civil War officers on both sides of the conflict. However, as these certificates show, operating the business in a Union occupied Southern city carried its share of red tape). 11th item: Apron from Giers' studio; metal door plate "Chas. C. Giers" (3 1/2" x 7"). 12th item: Light magnifier or lens from a piece of photography equipment (1 1/2" x 3 1/4"). 13th item: Metal printing plate depicting the Giers photography shop along with a late 20th century card showing a reprint of the image.

He set up a photo gallery downtown, photographing many Nashville occupants and visitors - including notable Civil War figures during the city's Union Occupation. C.C. Giers passed away in 1877 and the studio was sold, but his son, Otto Giers, only 19 when his father died, took up the trade and continued it as part of the firm Thuss, Kollein and Giers. He went on to make a name for himself photographing a series of documentary photos of the city of Nashville (included in this auction), the Nashville Centennial Exposition, and other important citizens, sites, and events.
