Hal LewisYes, but Rhys' catalog was from something like 1873...
because you could buy the 1869, 1870, 1871 and 1872 cards from the price list that he found.
THIS particular card proves that they were SELLING the Peck & Snyder cards all the way back in 1869 and were never just "giving" them away...
since this card HAD to be from 1869 as the "22 Ann Street" address went out of business after May 1, 1870 and moved to 126 Nassau Street.
The catalog that Rhys found was from the "126 Nassau Street" address, which makes sense because it was printed a few years AFTER May 1, 1870.
