PHCDV29. H. Courtney's Excelsior Photograph Rooms, Millersburg, Ohio. This lot consists of 11 CDVs by Courtney. The first CDV shows him posed with his daguerreian box camera. The second CDV is identified as "Robert Courtney," and given the similarity in looks between this older gentleman and the younger photographer, I would bet this is his father. The additional 9 cdvs represent other work by Courtney. Five of these images have the H. Courtney backmark and 4 have the backmark of Courtney & Appleton. These latter 4 are clearly later images. The CDV of Courtney with his camera is VG; the other images range from G-VG, with some trimmed as shown. $850
