1865 CHARLES G. FINNEY. Very Rare Original Carte de Visite Photograph from Oberlin, OH Autograph She and pioneer Chinese missionary

She and pioneer Chinese missionary founded the Inn of the Eighth Happiness where they would welcome travelers and talk to them about Jesus

One slight point of weakness

Really nice little assemblage

but a colonel in the military and a flaming evangelist among the young soldiers

There are a few translation notes and marks in the margins in his very neat pencil

1865 CHARLES G. FINNEY. Very Rare Original Carte de Visite Photograph from Oberlin, OH Autograph She and pioneer Chinese missionaryVery rare on the market, this is it . . . the original, steel eyed, hell fire, stare 'em down until they kneel down, photograph that went on to become the "go to" for his memoirs, etc., Taken c. 1865 by A. C. Platt of Oberlin, Ohio, it is very challenging to come by. This is perhaps the 2nd, 3rd at most, we have handled in 25 years. Very good state, standard format 2. 5 x 4 inches, some very light toning. About as fine an example as you will see.
