Leavenworth Bridge Construction Stereoview Cards E.E. Henry Photographer Lot of 3. Cards show three different views of the bridge in stages of construction. Cards measure 7" x 3.5" and have age appropriate wear, smudges, etc. One has been bent in the center, but is still strong and not tearing. Please see all the photos.E.E. (Ebenezer Elijah) Henry was an early Leavenworth Kansas photographer in the mid 1800's to early 1900's. He took many famous photographs of Civil War generals and local photos of Leavenworth in the early days. Henry published these stereoview cards himself, at his studio at 322 Delaware St., Leavenworth Kansas. They were probably made to order by unknown persons, or he made them to sell himself. Glass negatives of his work are saved in the Everhard Collection in museums in Los Angeles and Ft Worth. I don't know the exact date of these views, but this had to be early because the bridge has been called by other names since around 1913. E.E. Henry lived from 1828-1917.And now the small print: I am in the business of treasure hunting and recycling cool vintage items and collectibles for eBay in a region where they are still found at auctions, garage sales, and flea markets.
