Rare CDV produced for a lecture tour by the 19th Century American/ Armenian author Christopher Oscanyan. His book "The Sultan and his People" written in 1857 sold 16,000 copies in the first four months in New York City. The photograph by renown photographer Charles D. Fredricks would have been sold at his lectures and book signings.
CDV is 4" x 2.5" with blank back. Overall in very good antique condition, with the little pin hole as shown and light foxing. The inventory number is just a watermark and not on the original CDV.
