With 101 Portraits by Frederick Gutekunst Jr:

Frederick Gutekunst (born 1831 - died 1917) was the most prominent American photographers of his era, and was the a leading portrait photographer in Philadelphia.

He photographed the most well-known business and civic leaders of the East Coast including a Civil War photograph of General Ulysses S. Grant, and of Camden poet Walt Whitman.

"...he has been ambitious to make photographs of men eminent in their several professions, and his collection of negatives of distinguished characters is probably equalled in few galleries in the United States. " Public Ledger

"photographed more of the world's celebrated people than perhaps any man in this country. Bulletin of Photography

"the Nestor of American photographers"  Journal of the Franklin Institute

Apparently Frederick Gutekunst was the photographer and photogravure engraver for most all these portraits.  His name appears at the bottom of all the portraits.  One portait includes his name, and also includes the name of the Philadelphia Photography company Wells and Hope.
