Description:

Edgar A. Poe Studio, 102 Main St., Hackensack New Jersey (Bergen County).  Have no idea why it was called "Edgar A. Poe" Studio, except maybe the photographer was a fan... There's an internet reference to the photographer being Richard Pye, an immigrant from England.

Photograph itself measures about 3 1/2" by 2 1/4", with board measures 5 1/2" by 3 1/2".  Excellent condition, very crisp.  Pencil writing on the back reads "10 months old."
