Rochester, N.Y. J.H. Kent Photographer, 1890.
Sold
Unbound. Gelatin silver cabinet card photograph. Measuring 4" x 5¾". The card has been trimmed to the margins of the image, old paper tape shadows or remnants on the verso apparently from previously having been mounted, near fine. Backmark of photographer John Howe Kent, one of the country's leading portrait photographers. Anthony is captured in profile wearing glasses with her hair tightly coifed. Signed by Anthony beneath her portrait: "Susan B. Anthony. 1820 - Feb. 15. - 1890," her 70th birthday. Anthony frequently had her photograph taken for her birthday; whether this was signed on her birthday or not we do not know, but clearly it would have been contemporary. A strong image and a bold clear signature.
