Q: I’m looking for information on two framed photos I have, one of Washington and one of Lincoln. The Lincoln photo shows him without a beard. I thought that might make it valuable. The photos are 42 inches high and 21 inches wide as they sit in the frame. The frames seem to be original. They were published by A.W. Elson & Co. of Boston. One photo has an 1893 copyright date and one an 1894 date. The frames have a label that says “Annesley & Co., Albany Art Gallery, 57 N. Pearl St., Albany, N.Y.” What can you tell me about them and their value?
