| | | TIP TOP HOUSE by BIERSTADT BROTHERS (2 views) “The Tip Top House.” (Some soil and other minor problems in the sky, but image is Exc where it matters, minor corner crack on back layer in margin, and with Treadwell label, minor fraying to original tape. Bierstadt Bros used European-style tape.) And No Title, but the image is such a close-up of the entrance with sign, it doesn’t need a title. (Fine close view of the tourists. Several tiny specks noticed but image otherwise VG+, on the back it looks like a 3/4" marginal crack, no fraying of original tape.) MB$110. | |
| $ 110 * |
| | | (Inc Boston Massachusetts) ALPINE HOUSE by BIERSTADT & TWO VIEWS by LANGENHEIM: (3 views) Bierstadt #386 “Alpine House.” (Some minor problems, image overall G++ with better tones, no fraying of original tape) and 2 Langenheim, both dated 1856; “Tuckerman’s Ravine, Mt Wash.” (Image VG+, tape is original to the Period and correct in style, but semi-sloppily retaped, albeit likely only a decade or two after it was made.) And “Mount Auburn, Boston.” (View over the suburbs which looks much like a forest with a few bldgs seen. Image has some minor specks and also some marks which are minor because they are peripheral. No fraying of original tape.) MB$165. | |
| $ 165 |
| | | SUMMIT HOUSE, MT WASH: Bierstadt Bros No# “Summit House.” (Fine close view of a couple, image Exc., Treadwell label residue and a bit of the tape is lifting near the residue. Possibly retaped, very hard to tell on this one.) MB$85. | |
