REAL PHOTO CARDS by A.B. SEALY (Bothwell) - DO YOU HAVE ANY?

#1 Post by Ross Ewington » Mon Apr 27, 2015 11:16 am

I sold this card in my May 2014 online auction after offering it several times - at the time I did not know the photographer
which may explain in part the lack of interest and the final $5 sale price!!

...and then yesterday, I found this card in another album from the same source

Bingo! The inserted photo is the same (a self-portrait perhaps?) with SEALY h/stamped in the LL corner.

Chris Long does not mention Allen Broughton Sealy of Bothwell in his book but I did find this online reference
on the State Library of Tasmania site http://search.archives.tas.gov.au/defau ... id=NG01982
who list a huge number of glass negatives produced by Sealy.

If you have any real photo cards that can be attributed to A.B. Sealy, please add them to this topic.
