Toronto. Louis Daguerre is famous for releasing the first publicly announced practical process for photography – and for offering it free to all outside the UK.
His portrait (shown here) is one of the lots in the upcoming auction of old photographic images by Michael Lehr.
Mr Lehr has an auction house down in New Jersey. He announced his latest photographic images auction recently.
The auction will begin on January 31, 2026. Anyone can bid online for a particular lot. Notice of the auction is in this post. Details on the lots-catalogue offered and how to bid are on his web site.
PS. This is a great chance to add more Americana images to your collection.
