Very Rare! Independence Hall Philadelphia Extremely Early CDV 1861 Photo

  

INDEPENDENCE HALL PHILADELPHIA PENNSYLVANIA - EXTREMELY EARLY CDV 1861 PHOTOGRAPH. PHOTO TAKEN OF THE BACK ENTRANCE OF INDEPENDENCE HALL PHILADELPHIA. NOTICE THERE IS NO LANDSCAPING OR HARDSCAPING OR COMMODORE BARRY STATUE YET. ON THE LOWER LEFT THERE IS A SMALL CURB AND SOME LOW PLACED GROUND ORNAMENTS THAT MAY BE TOMBSTONE MARKERS.

I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO FIND ANY VIEW OF INDEPENDENCE HALL PHILADELPHIA THAT PRECEDES THIS. STRICKLAND STEEPLE (1828 - present) THAT INCLUDED THE WILBANK BELL AND LUKENS CLOCK. THAT SHOWS 1:15 a.

REAR DOOR AND ROUND STEEPLE WINDOW ARE PARTIALLY OPEN. VERY WELL FOCUSED WITH VERY GOOD CONTRAST. DIMENSIONS: 2 7/16" x 4".
