Lot 86. 2nd TEXAS U.S. VOL. INFANTRY
Album, L. M. Openheimer, Col. Commanding. Leather album with title tooled in
gold on cover. Contains 17 heavy album pages, with a 7 1/2" x 9 1/2" print mounted
on the recto of each page. Photographer is P. J. Coates of the Florida East Coast
Studio, Jacksonville. Includes Col. Openheimer, mounted in camp; the officers,
seated and standing; the
band; wide view of the horses
and wagons; and groups
of troops with their arms-one
shows a seated black boy and a standing black man. These look
like albumen prints, mostly very rich. An unusual object from the
Spanish-American War period, whose historical significance is being
more widely understood, and enhanced by the fullness of the coverage
and the Texas connection. Pages still bound but spine is
missing. No damage to prints. 3 of them are [3], the rest [4].
