United States U.S. Presidents, Their Wives, and Political Leader
James, Thomas Lemuel, born in Utica, New York in 1831. Though he had minimal education at a common school ad at an academy in Utica, James ultimately received several honorary degrees. He began his care at the Utica Liberty Press and by 1851, he owned the paper. He quickly added to his collection, purchased two more newspapers over the next five years. During this time, he began serving in a number of government positions including collector of tolls on the Erie Canal (1854-1855), inspector of customs for the state of New York (1861-1864), official weigher for New York (1864-1870), and deputy collector of customs for the port of New York *(1870-1873). President Ulysses S. Grant tapped James to be the Postmaster of New York, and after an impressive program of reform, President Hayes reappointed him to the position in 1877. The President actually wanted James to join his cabinet as postmaster general, but the latter refused twice; however, he ultimately accepted the position when President Garfield proffered it in March 1881. James was postmaster general only a short time, however, for when Garfield was assassinated, President Arthur asked for his resignation in December 1881; James left office on January 1, 1882. James then because the chairman of the board of directors for the Lincoln National Bank, a position he held until he died in 1916. Lovely, dated signature card. Estimate $20 - 30. Est. $20-30 (Image)

Cartes de visite, late 1850's to ca. 1910, small collection, a dozen different small photographs on cards which proved to be a very popular item during the American Civil War, soldiers, friends and family members would have a means of inexpensively obtaining photographs and sending them to loved ones in small envelopes; additionally, photos of Abraham Lincoln, Ulysses S. Grant, and other celebrities of the era became an instant hit in the North, people were not only buying photographs of themselves, but also collecting photographs of celebrities. Estimate $25 - 35
These small photographs were patented in Paris by photographer André Adolphe Eugène Disdéri in 1854, although first used by Louis Dodero. They were usually made of an albumen print, which was a thin paper photograph mounted on a thicker paper card. The size of a carte de visite is 54.0 mm (2.125 in) × 89 mm (3.5 in) mounted on a card sized 64 mm (2.5 in) × 100 mm (4 in). In 1854, Disdéri had also patented a method of taking eight separate negatives on a single plate, which reduced production costs. The carte de visite was slow to gain widespread use until 1859, when Disdéri published Emperor Napoleon III's photos in this format. This made the format an overnight success. The new invention was so popular it was known as "cardomania" and it spread throughout Europe and then quickly to America and the rest of the world.
Each photograph was the size of a visiting card, and such photograph cards were traded among friends and visitors. Albums for the collection and display of cards became a common fixture in Victorian parlors. The immense popularity of these card photographs led to the publication and collection of photographs of prominent persons. Est. $25-35 (Image)

Cartes de visite, late 1850's to ca. 1910, small collection, a dozen different small photographs on cards which proved to be a very popular item during the American Civil War, soldiers, friends and family members would have a means of inexpensively obtaining photographs and sending them to loved ones in small envelopes; additionally, photos of Abraham Lincoln, Ulysses S. Grant, and other celebrities of the era became an instant hit in the North, people were not only buying photographs of themselves, but also collecting photographs of celebrities. Estimate $25 - 35
These small photographs were patented in Paris by photographer André Adolphe Eugène Disdéri in 1854, although first used by Louis Dodero. They were usually made of an albumen print, which was a thin paper photograph mounted on a thicker paper card. The size of a carte de visite is 54.0 mm (2.125 in) × 89 mm (3.5 in) mounted on a card sized 64 mm (2.5 in) × 100 mm (4 in). In 1854, Disdéri had also patented a method of taking eight separate negatives on a single plate, which reduced production costs. The carte de visite was slow to gain widespread use until 1859, when Disdéri published Emperor Napoleon III's photos in this format. This made the format an overnight success. The new invention was so popular it was known as "cardomania" and it spread throughout Europe and then quickly to America and the rest of the world.
