Inaugural 19th Century Photography Auction
Welcome to the first Michael Lehr Antiques auction Saturday, January 27th, 2024. My inaugural auction will feature a diverse collection of historical and rare photographic treasures. Whether you're a seasoned collector or just starting out, there will be something for everyone in this curated offering.
I have prepared a captivating auction lineup that includes a half plate scenic daguerreotypes by George Johnson which captures the essence of California gold mining. We will also offer a half plate daguerreotype of a stone bridge under construction. Additionally, portraits and post-mortem daguerreotypes by quintessential 19th century artists by Mathew Brady, CR Williamson, and Southworth & Hawes among others will provide a glimpse into the past, with a rich tapestry of historical moments frozen in time.
A range of tintypes, showcasing a range of occupations such as a banner girl, a sausage maker, and a blacksmith. Another standout is the full plate tintype of the original Studebaker wagon factory who produced 1000s of coaches for union troops in the civil war, a testament to the industrial history of a bygone era.
We will offer several stereo daguerreotypes including a rare military image from Praag by Maloch and Zilliger, that will add depth and dimension to any collection. For those interested in 19th-century technology and exhibitions, our stereo daguerreotype offerings will also feature images of the Crystal Palace, and portraits by Antoine Claudet. An amazing stereo daguerreotype nude will add an additional element of artistry and sensuality to the auction.
To make your auction experience even more appealing, we're pleased to offer free shipping on all lots within the United States. Contact us for pricing details for international purchases, or if you would like to add insurance.
We wish you "Happy Bidding,"
