Awesome trio Dean! That Lajoie is very, very interesting me me. I have seen two other "Frederick Benedict Gessner" back stamps on Brown Hindu's; a John McGraw "portrait-no cap" which I owned in the long, long ago, which had the word "Princeton" written in caligraphy on the back, and a Greminger. I have always wanted to gather more information on these. If anyone knows anything we should have story time.
Thanks Derek! I would love to find out more about Mr. Gessner. I tried looking up some info on him but didn't get anything. I'll keep trying. It would be cool to see how extensive his collection was.
Here's another card I can't stop looking at. The centering, color and registration just jump out at me. Add in the fat over-sized borders and I just cant put it down.
