Default Help with 2 19th century photographs
Posted By: barrysloate

I'm with Dan on this one. The CdV doesn't look like baseball, so football is a good guess. It also seems pretty late for a CdV, perhaps 1875-80.

The second photo looks fine, it's not unusual for them to look glossy, as albumen photographs are like that. You never want to authenticate off a scan but it does appear to be genuine.
