Photography: post your favorite 19th century images

[bgar3]

Good idea Paul, I love the 19th century stuff now.
Gary, I think we had had a thread earlier where Kevin proved that image was the earliest of the 1869 ones. Anyway, here is one with a date along with George and Henry Chadwick.

This is one of my current faves.

I believe this photo was taken shortly after King Harold was killed at the Battle of Hastings.

Gary: I agree with you that pricing on most baseball photographs (other than Ruth, Gehrig, Cobb, and Jackson) is inexplicably low. At the same time, I’m a net buyer of photographs, so I like it that way. I would be happy to see prices go down.

Bruce: Great images. Any idea what processes were used to make your Chadwick prints? Dates?

Leon: That’s such an oddly compelling image. I wish I could unravel it.

I've had this ever since the Rucker auction in 1995. It's almost a piece of folk art to me.

You bet it’s folk art. The Rucker Auction is still my favorite auction ever. What a smart collection he had.

Very nice Gary, I actually think I remember that from the catalogue. I think those are Zouave pants.

I still have the auction catalog and love to look through it occasionally.

Gary, here is the listing for your photo.

Hi Gary- didn't you buy the Lige Coburn CdV from me, sometime after the Rucker auction?

[GaryPassamonte]

You're right, Barry. It was the Colburn cdv and the "Ks" cdv. That was over 20 years ago. I hope both of us are here 20 years from now.
