Rare stereoscopic views of New Orleans in exceptionally good condition by Samuel Tobias Blessing (1830-1897), photographer of daguerreotypes, ambrotypes, tintypes, and paper prints made using the wet plate collodion process. He appears to have worked as a photographer in Alabama and Texas before settling in New Orleans in 1854. After the Civil War, Blessing concentrated on selling cartes-de-visite's and stereocards, photographic equipment, frames, and art supplies. His four-story establishment on Canal Street was one of the largest photographic studios and supply houses in the south.
All stereoviews in in beautiful condition, from a Dutch collection formed pre-1870. Cf.: M. Denton Smith & M.L. Tucker, Photography in New Orleans: The Early Years, 1840–1865. (Baton Rouge, 1982).-

"The most important source of the Astor adventure!" (Howes)
Gabriel Franchere was a Canadian explorer best known for his voyages of the Pacific Northwest. Employed out of Montreal and the Pacific Fur Company, Franchere spent time exploring all over Canada and helped establish the first American settlement in the Canadian Pacific (i.e. Winnipeg) as part of the famed Astor expedition. His Northwest voyage through the Rocky Mountains gained popularity throughout the 19th-century after author Washington Irving used Franchere as the basis for his book 'Astoria'.
Franchere published a book of his discoveries and experiences – 'Narrative of a Voyage to the Northwest Coast of America'. This 1854 first English edition was translated by Jebediah V. Huntington who claims that this book is,
"the only account by an eye witness and a participator in the enterprise, of the first attempt to form a settlement on the Pacific under the… Read More
