In regard to the rarity: I would consider having 130 images of an 1860s
personality to not be that rare when most of the population probably had
but one or two images of themselves from that period
And to look a bit earlier during the nineteenth century, we can compare an
author/celebrity who died in 1849. According to Michael J. Deas in his "The
Portraits and Daguerrotypes of Edgar Allen Poe", there are only eight known
authentic photographs of Poe.
