c1870 CdV of James Presley Ball<\/a> sells at auction for 125K USD<\/p><\/div>\n

Toronto<\/strong>. One of our exchange groups, PHSNE<\/a>, in their June 2023 issue of Snap-Shots reports that this CdV went for a hammer price of $125,000 US recently at Swann Galleries<\/a> in NYC.<\/p>\n

The announcement was posted on the ‘Fine Books & Collections<\/a>‘ website this past April. The CdV sold that high for many reasons including rarity (only known CdV of Jim Ball) and position held by Mr Ball (a prominent African-American photographer).<\/p>\n

The PHSHE article states, “Swann\u2019s annual Printed & Manuscript African-Americana auction was the most successful in its 28-year history. The sale set records with $1,377,463 in total sales and a 94% sell-through rate .<\/p>\n

“The top lot in the sale was an inscribed carte-de-visite by the important early photographer, James Presley Ball, which brought $125,000. Only one other photograph of Ball is known to exist\u201d.<\/p>\n

Remember, CdVs used to cost a ‘dime a dozen’ when first made. Every collection needs a few – perhaps not this rare – Join us at next month’s ESTATE auction<\/a> for photos (including CdVs), cameras, and so much more! In the above link we have a lot-oriented slide show<\/em> to allow you to pre-plan your visit (you’re welcome)!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
