One-of-a-kind vintage circa 1876 albumen 6.75 x 4 photo of Corbett in his grade school class affixed to an original 7.25 x 4.25 mount, signed later in blue ink, “Jim Corbett, Age 10,” circling himself and adding a faint “Jim” within, as well age “Age 10” in the right border. In very good condition, with irregularly trimmed edges to the mount and portions of the signature a shade or two light. Likely the earliest photograph of Corbett extant, and certainly the earliest that we have encountered. Provenance: William Collier Family Collection.
