1. Etienne Carjat. French journalist, caricaturist, and photographer (1828–1906).

The rival of Nadar in French photography, he is best known for his numerous portraits and caricatures of political, literary, and artistic Parisian figures. ALS in French, one page, 5.25 x 8.25, Et. Carjat & Cie. letterhead, Paris, April 20, 1889. Letter to “Hudelist.”

In part (translated): “You were so nice about my daughter that it encourages me to ask you for another little favor. It concerns your displaying in your window the photograph of the incomparable...mandolin quartet which returned from St. Petersburg with an ample supply of praise. The father has been my friend for 20 years; I saw the brats born and develop their talent…I am counting on you to provide for the eyes of the passers-by their nice mugs and the quartet (of your servitor) who accompanies them.” Central vertical and horizontal folds, uniform shade of toning, and a couple tiny tears to the upper border, otherwise fine condition.

Minimum Bid $200

The father of photography seeks the patronage of Her Royal Highness the Dauphine, offering early etchings years before inventing the groundbreaking Daguerreotype 2. Louis Daguerre. ALS in French, signed “Daguerre,” one page, 5.25 x 7.75, Diorama letterhead, Paris, February 11, 1828. Letter to a Count. In part (translated): “I have the honor to send you the letter enclosing the etchings I told you about. Success depends on your answer, having been given the intentions of Her Royal Highness the Dauphine. Dear count, please give me a favorable reply.” Light scattered creases, a few tiny holes to the lower left, and some trivial mirroring to ink, otherwise fine condition. Accompanied by an original unsigned carte-de-visite of Daguerre by Mayer & Pierson of Paris.

Struggling with the slow, labor-intensive methods of early photography and determined to improve them, the ambitious artist Louis Daguerre sought out much needed funding for his work from Marie Therese Charlotte, Dauphine of France and daughter of Marie Antoinette. Hoping to impress with a sample of his etched plates, he implored her Count for a favorable reply, declaring that “success depends on your answer.” At the same time, he was beginning his relationship with Joseph Niepce, an inventor on a similar quest who had achieved great success with his own method of heliography, resulting in the first permanently fixed image from nature using a camera. The two would officially join forces the following year, achieving the initial advances that culminated in the groundbreaking Daguerreotype a decade later. With its exceptionally early mention of a Daguerre etching, this is a remarkable letter from the man who revolutionized the world of photography.

Barnum prefers Rockwood over the famed freak-show photographer Eisenmann: “The Bowery man makes them I believe for about $60 per 1000—but yours are far superior” 91. P. T. Barnum.

ALS, one page both sides, 5.75 x 9, Marina, Bridgeport, CT letterhead, September 12, 1889. Letter to Rockwood. In part: “I telegraphed you today to print 100 of my photos soon as possible. The reason of haste is, one of our agents sails for Dresden next Wednesday early & if he could call on you & get this hundred on Tuesday P.M. next he would take them to English editors. If you can’t have them ready by that time, I must send them later by mail. If you could print my autograph with them, all the better. Meanwhile if you have one of my cabinets on hand please mail it early Friday…I order this 100 on my own back without seeing my manager Mr Bailey, who attends to & decides all details of show. When I see him we will decide whether or not to increase the order. The Bowery man (Eisenmann) makes them I believe for about $60 per 1000—but yours are far superior—though Bailey may think the other will answer the purpose. I saw the other day a photo-graveur of your picture of me made by some firm in Brooklyn. I wrote to ask them for what price they would make me 5,000 or more of a reduced size—(about 3.5 by 4.5 inches) for frontispiece of my cheap autobiographies. I can get no answer from them & have lost their address. Perhaps you can put me in the way of getting thousands of these photo-graveurs from your picture—at a nominal price—about the cost of the woodcut which is now used for my portrait in book. If so, they can put their name & yours on the plate & thus extend the advertisement in many thousand volumes.” In fine condition, with light toning to the left border, trivial paper loss to the upper left corner, and a spot of adhesive remnants to the reverse upper right corner. Accompanied by an original unsigned carte-de-visite portrait of Barnum by an anonymous studio. Eisenmann’s most notable work consisted of portraits of human oddities from the Barnum and Bailey circus, including Jojo the Dog-faced Boy, Siamese twins Chang and Eng, and Tom Thumb. Because of this relationship, it is surprising to see that Barnum preferred Rockwood. A letter that reveals some strife in the relationship between Barnum and Bailey, and contains truly spectacular photographic content.

Accompanied by the original mailing envelope, filled out in Barton’s hand. Handy, Brady’s nephew and apprentice, went on to become a notable photographer in his own right and ran an independent studio.

Although one of the most well-known photos of Barton was taken by Brady in 1865, it is not surprising that Barton disliked having her picture taken—she originally became a teacher to try to cure an overwhelming shyness. Barton also could have used a busy schedule as an excuse, as she had just founded the American Red Cross in May, and was certainly well-occupied in her role as president of the organization.

This portrait comes from a sitting with famed Scottish photographer John Thomson, who pioneered photojournalism with his social documentary photography from throughout the Far East and the streets of London. He went on to become a portrait photographer of British high society, gaining the Royal Warrant in 1881.

Around the time of this photograph, Churchill began his third term in Parliament and married Clementine Hozier, who he would remain with until his death. The dignified portrait depicts Churchill wearing his famous navy blue and white polka-dot bow tie, eventually mass-marketed as the ‘Blenheim,’ which he popularized and wore throughout his life.

Congressman, speaker of the house, and vice president under U. S. Grant (1823–1885). ALS, one page, lightly-lined, 5 x 8, South Bend, Indiana, November 1, 1873. Letter to Archibald Wilson. In part: “I have just received…the volume of your father’s poems you have sent me & which I shall read with interest. I have heard years ago of the bookstore & its many distinguished visitors; & thank you for the thoughtful kindness which impelled you to write me the letter which I wholly appreciate.

Supremely rare portraits of the last of the Romanovs, Nicholas and Alexandra 127. Czar Nicholas II and Empress Alexandra of Russia. The last czar and empress of Russia, who reigned from 1894 until abdication in 1917. In the wake of the Russian Revolution, Nicholas, Empress Alexandra, and their children were imprisoned and finally executed on July 17, 1918. Two photos: one vintage matte-finish 5.5 x 7.5 portrait of Nicholas II affixed to its original 5.75 x 8 mount, by C. E. de Hahn & Co., signed at the bottom of the image in English in black ink, “Nicolas, Reval, 1902”; and one vintage matte-finish 4 x 6.25 profile portrait of Empress Alexandra affixed to its original 7.5 x 10.5 photographer’s mount, signed at the bottom of the image in black ink and dated 1905. Nicholas photo is in fine condition with trivial scattered surface marks and soiling, lightly trimmed edges to the mount, and trivial surface loss to reverse edges of the mount; Alexandra photo exhibits some silvering to dark

areas of her hair, a central block of toning to the mount, and a few pencil notations and mounting remnants to the bottom of the mount, otherwise fine condition. Nicholas earned the nickname ‘Bloody Nicholas’ because of his propensity for ordering violence against opposition—one such incident, Bloody Sunday, took place in the same year Alexandra signed this photo. As peaceful protesters marched toward the palace to present a petition, they were gunned down by the Imperial Guard—historians estimate that approximately one thousand were killed. A superb, crystal-clear portrait of the last Russian czar, bearing his exceptionally rare English signature, and a scarce, highly desirable portrait of the empress.

Exceptional 1874 carte-de-visite of Darwin 128. Charles Darwin. Original 2.5 x 4 carte-de-visite portrait of Darwin by Elliott & Fry, circa 1874, signed below the image in black ink, “Ch.

In 1874, Darwin published the second—and finally complete—edition of his second book on evolutionary theory, The Descent of Man. This exceptionally rare pose features Darwin with his arms crossed—cartes-de-visite typically seen from this sitting with Elliott & Fry are a slightly different pose where his arms are not visible. In practically pristine condition, this is a perfect example of one of a handful of known signed Darwin cartes-de-visite.

Edison, Ford, and Firestone, along with John Burroughs, styled themselves ‘The Illustrious Vagabonds’ and traveled the country between 1914 and 1925, this being one of their stops.

Dressed to the nines in his finest tuxedo, hair (somewhat) under control, with a slightly subdued smirk on his face, the celebrity scientist takes on the dignified air of a world-renowned intellectual.

The camera-shy founder of modern nursing avoids the photographers’ lens, claiming that it is “entirely impossible for her to be photographed” 187. Florence Nightingale.

Third-person ALS, one page on a 4.75 x 3 postcard postmarked in South Kensington, June 26, 1889, to “Messres. Elliott & Fry.” In full: “Florence Nightingale begs that Messrs.

Elliott & Fry be informed that, constantly overworked as she is, and a prisoner to her room for years from illness, it is her deep regret entirely impossible for her to be photographed as her kind unknown friends are not infrequently proposing to her. She hopes they will accept kindly her inability & her apology.” Light scattered toning and soiling, and a couple pencil notations to both sides, otherwise fine condition. Accompanied by an unsigned carte-de-visite portrait of Nightingale by Mr. Kilburn/H. Lenthall of London.

A private person throughout her life, Florence Nightingale avoided publicity as much as possible. She had a principled objection to having photographs taken or her portrait painted; despite her enormous fame, it is estimated there are fewer than a dozen images taken of her during her lifetime. Bedridden and suffering from what most historians believe was brucellosis, she here denies Elliott and Fry’s request for a sitting (though it is unlikely she would have attended even if in perfect health). Though they famously copied Henry Hering’s portrait of Nightingale in 1858, there is no record that she ever sat for their studio. A wonderful letter from the celebrated reformer, giving voice to her lifelong aversion to stepping in front of the camera.

America’s greatest author visits England at the start of his novelistic career 308. Samuel L. Clemens. Original 2.5 x 4 carte-de-visite portrait of Clemens by W. & A. H. Fry, circa 1872, signed below the image in black ink, “Yours truly, Mark Twain.” Printed text on the reverse reads: “W. & A. H. Fry, Art Photographers and Miniature Painters, 68, East Street, Brighton.” Scattered marks and speckling to the image, light silvering to darker areas of the image, and two small areas of surface loss and a pencil notation to the reverse, otherwise fine condition. Clemens began as a newspaper reporter, first writing under the “Twain” pseudonym in 1863. His first novel, The Gilded Age, was published in 1873, followed by his greatest works—The Adventures of Tom Sawyer and Adventures of Huckleberry Finn—in 1876 and 1884, respectively. He made his first trip to England in 1872, and had his portrait taken at the W. and A. H. Fry studio on September 12, from which four poses are known to be extant.

It is thought that Twain undertook the trip to do research for a work that lampooned English culture and society, but fell in love with the culture, causing him to abandon the idea. He later wrote of the proposed satire, “I could not leave out the manners & customs...yet I would shrink from deliberately describing them in a book, for I fear that such a course would be, after all, a violation of the courteous hospitality which furnished me the means of doing it.” A wonderful portrait of Clemens at a significant turning point in his life and career.

Dickens made his second trip to America in 1867–8 and was quite impressed, after being disappointed during his first visit 25 years earlier. He toured the country and gave public readings along the way, one of which was observed by Mark Twain, who wrote a report on it for the Alta California newspaper. So impressed was Dickens with his reception that when he spoke at the end of his trip, he said he would include an appendix lauding the nation in all of his books published there.

“Let me know how many photographs you wish for, & whether carte or cabinet, plain or vignette” 321. Charles L. Dodgson. ALS signed “C. L. Dodgson,” one page on black-bordered stationery, 4.5 x 7, March 17, 1875. Letter to “Dr. Gatty.” In full: “My brother is still unsettled as to a curacy: if you should be likely to have a vacancy ere long, I shall be very glad to know. Would you let me know how many photographs you wish for, & whether carte or cabinet, plain or vignette?” In fine condition, with light scattered foxing, some show-through from mounting remnants to corners and left border, and a small erased pencil notation to the bottom.

By the 1870s, Charles Dodgson had built a name for himself as a talented gentleman-photographer, making portraits of such notable figures as Alfred, Lord Tennyson and Dante Gabriel Rossetti. He excelled at the art and broadened his scope well beyond portraiture, creating beautiful landscape photographs, innovative still lifes, and whimsical narrative scenes, mostly involving young girls.

He abruptly ceased photography in 1880 when he felt that keeping his studio had become too much work, admitting that the rapidly advancing technology was moving beyond him. Out of the thousands of images he created, fewer than 1,000 have survived. An excellent letter involving one of the author’s greatest passions, which has become increasingly popular with the passing of time.

HOURS

Office hours are Mon-Fri, 9 a.m. -5 p.m. eastern standard time; hours on the last night of the auction are dictated by the 30 Minute Rule (see below). Any item in the auction can be viewed in our offices during normal business hours. Please call to set up an appointment.

RRAUCTION’S POLICIES EXTENDED BIDDING & THE 30 MINUTE RULE

The final day of bidding for all lots is Thursday, January 24. Any bidder may bid on any lot prior to 6 pm. At that time, the Extended Bidding goes into affect. If you have not bid on a lot before 6 pm, you may not bid on that lot after 6 pm. Only those bidders who have placed bids on a lot before 6 pm will be allowed to bid on that lot after 6 pm. Hence, if you are the only bidder on a lot at 6 pm, that lot is awarded to you. During the extended bidding period, a lot will remain open only to those who bid on that lot prior to 6 pm.

All lots WITHOUT an opening bid at 6 pm will remain OPEN to ALL bidders until 7 pm or until they receive their first bid. These lots will close immediately upon receipt of a bid or at 7 pm, whichever comes first. For all lots that are active after 7 pm, bidding will remain open until 30 minutes pass without a bid being placed on THAT lot. The 30 Minute Rule is applied on a PER LOT BASIS; each lot in the auction closes individually based on bidding activity after 7 pm. On a PER LOT BASIS, the 30 minute timer will reset each time a bid is placed after 7 pm. If you are the high bidder, raising your maximum bid will NOT reset the timer. RR Auction reserves the right to close the auction at any time at its sole discretion.

POSTPONEMENT

RR Auction may postpone the auction for a reasonable period of time as the result of any significant event (e.g., an Act of God, etc). In this unlikely event, bidders and consignors will be notified of the new closing date.

GUARANTEES

If a lot is declared to be not authentic, we may ask the purchaser to supply the written opinion of one competent authority acceptable to us. We will refund the original purchase price after documentation has been submitted.

The buyer’s only remedy under this guarantee is the cancellation of the sale and the refund of the purchase price.

CONSIGNORS Consignors are not allowed to bid on or withdraw their own lots.

We will contact all consignors via mail, fax, or e-mail with their tentative final results the day after the auction ends.

SELLER RR Auction reserves the right to: (a) remove any item, (b) reject any bid, and (c) ban anyone from participating in this auction for any reason. We reserve the right to the final decision in all matters regarding this auction.

RR AUCTION’S BIDDING INFO REGISTRATION Your bidder number remains the same from auction to auction, but you must register to bid in each auction, even if you have already participated in past auctions. During registration, we will confirm your name, shipping address, phone number, e-mail, and method of payment if you are successful. Please provide any address or payment changes, or any special shipping requests, before the close of the auction.

NEW BIDDERS Bidders without a number must apply for one before they can participate in the auction. Fill out a New Bidder Application form online at http://rrauction.com/new_register. com, or request a form by mail or fax. Your bidder number will be issued only after all information has been verified.

PLACING BIDS By participating in the auction, you are accepting these Terms and Conditions. You are agreeing to the

alternative of dispute resolution by arbitration. Arbitration replaces the right to go to court, including the right to a jury trial.

If any dispute arises regarding payment, authenticity, grading, description, provenance, or any other matter pertaining to the auction, the bidder or a participant in the auction and/or RR Auction agree that the dispute shall go to binding arbitration in accordance with the commercial rules of the American Arbitration Association. A.A.A. arbitration shall be conducted under the provisions of the Federal Arbitration Act and in a locale mutually convenient to both parties. Where a locale cannot be agreed upon the determination shall be made by the independent ADR institution. Any claim made by a bidder must be presented within one (1) year or it is barred. The prevailing party may be awarded reasonable attorney’s fees and costs. An award granted in arbitration is enforceable in any court of competent jurisdiction.

MINIMUM BIDS Every item has a minimum bid (MB). No bids below this amount will be accepted.

MAXIMUM BIDS To maximize your chance of winning, we strongly encourage the use of maximum bids. For example, assume an item you want currently has a high bid of $100. Your bid would then be $110 (10% over $100), and you could tell us, “I’d like a maximum bid of $242 for that item.” We will enter your bid at $110, and we will then bid for you until the lot reaches your maximum of $242.

If competitive bids only reach $148, you would win the item at $163—10% over the highest previous bid. To prevent tie bids, all maximum bids should be made in proper increments. Maximum bids are strictly confidential. Placing arbitrary, non-incremental bids on lots with prior maximum bids may result in these lots being sold for less than 10% above the underbidder’s bid.

BID INCREMENTS Bids on an item must raise the current high bid by at least 10%.

CHECKING BIDS You can open, monitor, and/or raise bids as often as you wish.

However, all bidding is governed by the 30 Minute Rule and extended bidding. Extended bidding always goes into affect at 6 pm on the last day of the auction. At 7 pm, the extended bidding ends and the 30 Minute Rule goes into effect.

RESERVES Some lots may have a confidential reserve, below which the lot will not be sold.

CALLBACKS RRAuction offers a callback service on auction night for any bidder who has the high bid on an item whose current bid is over $1,000 and who has placed a maximum bid. At your request, we will call you if your maximum bid is topped. We will need your correct telephone number(s) where you can be reached until the auction closes. Callbacks begin after 6 pm on auction night.

You must request this service; it is not automatic. We make every effort to ensure that bidders who request a callback are contacted if outbid; however, we do not guarantee this service.

WITHDRAWING BIDS You are obligated to honor any bid(s) you make, and no bids may be withdrawn at any time. There are no exceptions; failure to comply will terminate all future bidding.

AFTER THE AUCTION WINNER NOTIFICATION We will notify all winners by email, phone, or fax by 5:00 p.m. on Friday, January 25. Auction results are available at rrauction.com.

SHIPPING All orders are now shipped FedEx and we must have your street address on file. At our discretion, some orders of high value may be sent via overnight or two-day service. Insurance is added to each invoice, with a minimum of $2 for the first $200 of value and 55¢ per $100 of value over $200. Oversized orders will have additional postage added to their invoices.

TERMINOLOGY

INTERNET LOG-IN INSTRUCTIONS

CONDITION

Access our online catalog at www.RRAuction.com and register to become a bidder. We offer the most interactive online auction in the collectibles field. After you have completed the registration form, you will have access to:

Each item in the catalog is described with a statement indicating its overall condition. The condition of the items we offer generally falls into the following range: good—very good—fine—very fine. Treated as a scale of 1 to 4, good describes an item that has as many as several flaws, which are described in detail; very fine describes an item whose condition and appearance may be regarded as flawless and superior in every respect. Most of the items we offer are in fine condition, meaning that there are no serious flaws. While we make every effort to describe flaws that materially affect appearance and value, we generally do not specify minor or routine flaws, such as (but not limited to) pencil or secretarial notations, mailing folds to letters, normal aging to paper, or tiny bends or creases from normal handling. We encourage prospective bidders to examine the image(s) of each item closely and to contact us with specific inquiries regarding condition.

GROUP LOTS In descriptions of group lots of two or more items, every effort is made to mention any obvious flaws. Bidders should note that condition for group lots is given as a general statement or range, and that specific flaws to single items within the group may be omitted in the interest of catalog space. Questions about group lots, or specific items within a group lot, should be addressed before the close of the auction to Tricia Eaton (tricia@rrauction.com).

MATTED & FRAMED Many of the items offered for sale in our monthly auctions are described as matted and/or framed. We do not remove items from frames; the given dimensions of items housed in a frame and/ or mat indicate sight size only. Photographs and other ephemera used with matted and framed items are not subject to description and condition statements, nor are they considered a reason for return. Condition refers only to the item and not the mat or frame. Our terms of return apply only to the item and not the matting and framing. Any item that is removed from the frame cannot be returned. Returns are only accepted when there is an authenticity question or the description of the item is incorrect.

ALS — Autograph Letter Signed (a letter entirely handwritten and signed by the given personality)

AQS — Autograph Quotation Signed ANS — Autograph Note Signed (a short ALS) LS — Letter Signed (a letter in a secretary’s hand, but signed by the given personality)

SP — Signed Photo
