And for a completely different track, here's Butch Cassidy (far right) and "the Sundance Kid" (left) on another cabinet card of the Fort Worth Five.
This picture is the image that was found in a photography gallery in Forth Worth by the Pinkertons, and used to distribute wanted posters of each of the men, pushing them to flee to Bolivia. |

And the modern day version.

This is one of my favorite cabinets, I really like the image and a black frame tends to look better. Wilhelm I was the first ruler of unified Germany and the first of the three emperors, for 16 years even though he was in his 70's when he became Kaiser. His Prime Minister has the fame these days, but Wilhelm was a major figure of 19th century history and has a ton of CDV's and Cabinets available cheaply because his importance then vs. his historical renown now are out of sync.

And here's James Garfield, the only sitting member of the house to be elected President as a dark horse candidate after a dramatic convention in 1880. I presume this card is from his campaign, based on the photograph and that it identifies him as General. Garfield was one of the many politicians given commissions in the Union army.

And another forgotten President, #23 Benjamin Harrison. Shame there's the paper loss in his beard, as the image is otherwise really crisp in hand.
