188731477New York Jan. 8 1887. 1887. Very good. - Over 75 words penned on both sides of an 8 inch high by 5 inch wide sheet of A.A. Low's personal 31 Burling Slip buff white stationery with attached blank leaf. In his letter addressed to Mr. Davenport at the Garfield Building which was also one of the buildings which A.A. Low developed in Brooklyn Low mentions the possibility of naming the building located at 186 Remsen Street which would house the Franklin Trust Company after that institution: "I have asked Mr. ____ if it would suit him or it will not to have the edifice called 'The Franklin Building'". Signed "Respectfully yours A.A. Low". Folded for mailing with some minor creases to the left edge. Remnants of paper adhere to the edge of the verso of the blank leaf. Very good. <p>The American entrepreneur businessman and philanthropist Abiel Abbot Low 1811-1893 made his fortune from the China trade. His company A.A. Low & Brothers imported teas porcelain and silks from China and Japan. His firm was originally housed on Fletcher Street in New York City. It moved to new quarters the A.A. Low building which he erected on John street in 1849-50. Once established in New York Low went on to invest in numerous other ventures including the first Atlantic cable and the Nickel Plate Railroad.<p>Among A.A. Low's speculative investments were the Garfield Building as well as financial institutions such as the Dime Savings Bank and the Title Guarantee & Trust Company. Another of his projects the Franklin Building is a seven and a half story Romanesque Revival Building. While most were later replaced by taller skyscrapers The Franklin Building which was completed in 1887 by the architectural firm of the Parfitt Brothers survives as one of the oldest buildings in the district.

41029801Hong Kong n.d. ca. 1900. A pair of large b.w. photographs woman: 31.5 x 40.5; man: 31 x 47 cm. very good condition minor wear on eges a few spots board mounted with studio brushed touch ups and accents. OBSCURE This is a pair of matching "Ancestor Photographs." They were taken about 1900 in Hong Kongand are probably photos of a Cantonese husband and wife. They were used posthumously to be placed on the family altar for worship remembrance and to make offerings of incense and food during the year. STUDIO POSED: The works were clearly taken in a studio. Each has been slightly enhanced by the photographer's brush upon development. The man's photo shows touch up and accent in his eyebrows moustache the lines and folds of his eye lids. The woman's photo has been touched up in her hair where thin lines to accent her hair have been drawn in as an accent. The frogs or fasteners of her Cheongsam dress have also been outlined to accent their definition. CONDITION: The woman's photo has some gray spots at her lower chest line in the bottom are of the photo. This is somewhat feint and not exceptionally bad otherwise there are 2 tiny white spots at the left in the background. The lower edge of the photo was roughly cut and then later likely matted out by the photographer. These defects do not significantly detract from the overall image which is clear sharp and otherwise without any major defects. Overall a strong solid image clear sharp and bright. The man's photo has a narrow water spot at the background just adjacent to his left temple a few white spots on the negative which transferred to the photograph common to the early period of this photograph. There is a small divot just below his chin in the background. Otherwise the photograph is with out any large defects. There is an interesting fingerprint in the left background just above his shoulder obviously place there by the photographer. A small discoloration is found on the area just above his right temple which again appears to be in the negative. Overall a strong solid image clear sharp and bright. It is out belief that the photographs were not taken on the same day at the same photographer's studio. The man's photograph appears to be an earlier work with a different photographic process. The woman's looks like it was taken a few years later. We believe the couple were married and represented the late ancestors of a Hong Kong family. PROVENANCE: The set was purchased in Hong Kong in 1959 and were framed as matching set. . unknown
