A sample lot from the Oct 29, 2022 auction by the Daguerreian Society.<\/p><\/div>\n

Toronto<\/strong>. Our friends to the south often hold fairs and auctions to market images from the beginnings of photography. They do a wonderful job for those enamoured with old photographs, especially Daguerreotypes.<\/p>\n

Their annual<\/a> is a massive soft cover book (hard cover for a premium) of manuscripts and photographs from the mid 1800s. Each annual is an education in itself. Many of our members are also members of “The Daguerreian Society<\/a>“.<\/p>\n

The society recently sent around an email announcing that their next auction is coming up fast. At the time I saw the email, it was, “T minus 7 days and counting!”<\/p>\n

The email continued, “Have you checked out the more than 130 lots of fantastic images and other items that will be offered in our annual Benefit Auction on\u00a0Saturday, Oct. 29<\/strong>, starting at 9:30 pm ET?<\/p>\n

“Bidding will be in person at Chicago’s Palmer House Hotel for DS Symposium attendees and online through LiveAuctioneers and Cowan’s Auctions, which\u00a0is generously waiving its platform fees.<\/p>\n

“Thirty percent of the proceeds will go to The Daguerreian Society, helping fund\u00a0website improvements and\u00a0programming, among other operating expenses. ”<\/p>\n

Then the coordinators suggested, “To see the full catalog on Cowan’s (20% buyer’s premium),\u00a0click here<\/a>; <\/strong>to see it\u00a0<\/strong>on LiveAuctioneers (25% buyer’s premium),\u00a0click here<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

This another chance to add to your collect (live if you are in Chicago for the symposium) or from the comfort of your home. …<\/p>\n

Note: The title of this post is a riff on a line from an old Janis Joplin tune, “Mercedes Benz<\/a>“. I first heard this c1970 song on one my CDs titled, “Pearl” which was said to be the late singer’s middle name.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
