Adams, Edgar H. [photographer]. FIFTY-ONE DIFFERENT FINE PHOTOGRAPHS DEPICTING CIVIL WAR TOKENS, EXPANDING UPON THOSE DEPICTED IN THE HETRICH AND GUTTAG REFERENCE. Fine original monochrome photographic prints, ranging in size from approximately 25 by 20 cm to 20 by 16 cm. Close to 2000 tokens depicted, mostly numbered (see comments). In a few cases, two prints will show the obverse and reverse of a particular arrangement of tokens, though most prints depict only one side or the other. Mostly in very good to near fine state of preservation, with some curling to edges and marginal chips; one plate has two examples present, both of them damaged but in different places, so that the two combine to show every token. Original photographs taken by Edgar H. Adams. The first sixteen were prepared to accompany the 1924 Hetrich and Guttag work on Civil War tokens. The thirty-three that follow are shot in the same manner and have identification numbers, but these numbers do not correspond to those given in Hetrich & Guttag (the final token depicted is an issue of A. Wahlstedt, of White Water, Wisconsin, which is the final token listed in the book, but is numbered 6482 on the plate and 10506 in the book). There are also two photographs, one taken in a different style, that do not have the usual identifying numbers. Edgar H. Adams was one of the finest numismatic photographers of his day, and his work was used in many reference works and catalogues. These would appear, beyond the first sixteen, to be unpublished (and there are differences to some of the first sixteen from the final arrangement in the Hetrich and Guttag volume). See Fuld et al.'s "Subject Index" to the Hetrich and Guttag photographs, published in the October 1954 issue of the Numismatic Scrapbook Magazine, for more information.
