Century Photographs and Ephemera Including Work by H. Buehman and S.J. Myre. This lot comprises an assortment of late 19th to early 20th-century photographs and ephemera, representing several distinct photographic processes and subjects. The group includes an albumen cabinet card of a saguaro cactus, bearing the printed mark of H. Buehman and Co. at the bottom left and TUCSON, A. T. (Arizona Territory) at the bottom right. The center margin contains the handwritten pencil notation 87, likely indicating the year 1887. Also included is a captioned cabinet card portrait reading MR. and MRS.

A silver gelatin photograph captures the interior of a grocery store, titled in the upper margin as S.J.
