The 1894 John L. Stoddard Portfolio of Photographs of Famous Cities & Scenes is a collectible book featuring black and white photographs of renowned cities and scenes. The hardcover book, signed by Stoddard, is illustrated with high-quality images that showcase the beauty and charm of various locations. Published by The Werner Company of Chicago, this portfolio offers a window into the art and photography of the late 19th century, making it a valuable addition to any collector's library. There is not a date in it but I found the same one on a different site and that’s the year it was listed. He was born 1850 and died in 1931 so that timeframe sounds about right. The signature is not authenticated but it feels slightly different and raised from the paper around it.
