Photo of a Group Posing in Front of Mr. Dinsmore's House Along the Hudson River in New York (1860)

 


Portrait of a group posing in front of a Mr. Dinsmore's house along the Hudson River in New York, c. 1860. Originally published as a glass stereoview with the title: "Private Residence - Hudson River." The Krannert Art Museum has a stereoview copy of the photo with an E. & H. T. Anthony number on it (#1288) with which I could then find the Anthony caption for the photo on the National Stereoscopic Association's exhaustive list of Anthony stereoviews. The original Anthony caption for the photo is "The Residence of Mr. Dinsmore, on the Hudson River." I was not able to find a surviving house that looks like this today with the Dinsmore name attached online.
