Lot: 1 - Antique c. 1900 Photographer James Ellery Hale Self Portrait Platinotype Photographic Print

James Ellery Hale Geneva, NY photographer 1882-1920. He took photo of many suffragists including Susan B. Anthony. He also took the First Lady Francis Folsom Cleveland. In June 1885, shortly before her graduation from Wells College in Aurora, NY, Miss Francis Folsom, fiancée to President Grover Cleveland, scheduled an appointment to have her portrait taken by Hale. After she became First Lady of the United States, Hale wrote to her asking for permission to use her photo for sale and marketing purposes. Mr. Hale I give my full permission and sanction to your selling any pictures you may desire. I will trust to your giving only the best ones. Your pictures are by far the best I have ever had taken. Someday I hope you can try again for me. Very Truly, Frances Folsom Cleveland, June 14, 1886. He was an accomplished photographer winning many awards. The platinum / palladium process was invented in the first half of the 19th century but a reliable commercial process was not introduced until the 1880s. It was popular for practical reasons as platinum is very stable so prints do not deteriorate over time. It is a very permanent image, and was highly valued for this reason. The main attraction of platinotype is, however, aesthetic. The process produces wonderfully rich grey-tones and a matte finish due to the print being laid directly on paper without the need for an emulsion. Those characteristics are demonstrated in this wonderful photograph.

The platinum / palladium process was invented in the first half of the 19th century but a reliable commercial process was not introduced until the 1880s. It was popular for practical reasons as platinum is very stable so prints do not deteriorate over time. It is a very permanent image, and was highly valued for this reason. The main attraction of platinotype is, however, aesthetic. The process produces wonderfully rich grey-tones and a matte finish due to the print being laid directly on paper without the need for an emulsion.

Lot: 110 - Antique c. 1900 Photograph of Suffragist / Abolitionist Elizabeth "Libby" Smith Miller Silver Bromide Photographic Print

Elizabeth Smith Miller (September 20, 1822 – May 23, 1911), known as "Libby", was an American advocate and financial supporter of the women's rights movement. Elizabeth Smith Miller was the daughter of Gerrit Smith and his second wife, Ann Carrol Fitzhugh. She was born September 20, 1822. In 1843 Elizabeth married Charles Dudley Miller and moved to Geneva, New York. The Smith home in Peterboro, New York was a station on the Underground Railroad. Her mother, Ann Fitzhugh Smith frequently traveled the area in a closed carriage. On these trips she was often "replaced" by a veiled fugitive on her way to Canada. In 1837, Elizabeth Smith and her cousin Elizabeth Cady, and others, were introduced to the fugitive slave Harriet Powell and afforded the opportunity to speak with her for hours about her experiences. Such meetings were arranged by Gerrit Smith to introduce his family and friends to the realities of slave life, and thereby encourage them to be involved in abolitionist efforts. Elizabeth Smith Miller is best known for the fact that she first wore the costume of Turkish pantaloons and knee length skirt popularized by Amelia Bloomer in The Lily. Reportedly, she began wearing the outfit after seeing this type of clothing on a trip to Europe. Dress reform was a significant focus of concern among early women's rights activists, and was strongly advocated in the Smith household. Rebellion against the fashion of the day, requiring women to dress in voluminous and constraining fashion, was both a practical necessity and a focal point of social reform. The "Bloomer" costume was worn for some time by most of the leaders in the women's rights movement. It was altered many times, and ultimately abandoned because of the amount of attention given to its criticism in the popular press efforts. Silver Bromide: DOP appears black and white unless image deterioration has occurred, or it may be toned to various warm shades; matte, glossy or textured; often exhibits silvering; may fade; paper fibers not visible.

Lot: 117 - Antique c. 1900 Lot of 8 Misc. Baby and Toddlers w/ Chairs Platinotype Photographic Prints

The platinum / palladium process was invented in the first half of the 19th century but a reliable commercial process was not introduced until the 1880s. It was popular for practical reasons as platinum is very stable so prints do not deteriorate over time. It is a very permanent image, and was highly valued for this reason. The main attraction of platinotype is, however, aesthetic. The process produces wonderfully rich grey-tones and a matte finish due to the print being laid directly on paper without the need for an emulsion. Those characteristics are demonstrated in this wonderful photograph. Platinotype printing declined as a commercial process soon after the end of WW1 due to the escalating cost of platinum. It use has continued popularity in art photography.

Lot: 121 - RARE Antique c. 1900 Photograph of Famed Astronomer William Robert Brooks in Hobart College Cap and Gown Platinotype Photographic Print

One of the only photographs of William Brooks that is around. William Robert Brooks (June 11, 1844 – May 3, 1921) was a British-born American astronomer, mainly noted as being one of the most prolific discoverers of new comets of all time, second only to Jean-Louis Pons. He developed his interest in astronomy during a boyhood voyage to Australia, when he observed a navigator making measurements with a sextant. As a young man he worked in the Shepherd Iron Works in Buffalo, New York, gaining considerable mechanical and draughtsmanship skills: he went on to become a portrait photographer in Phelps before turning his attention to astronomy full-time. Brooks had a good knowledge of lens construction, and was able to design and make his own telescopes, taking a year to grind and polish the optics for his nine-inch reflector. After marrying Mary E. Smith in 1870, Brooks moved to Phelps where he discovered his first comet in 1881, using a telescope of his own construction. In 1886, he discovered 3 new comets. Brooks' success at comet discovery was noticed by businessman William Smith, who, wishing to attract Brooks to Geneva, New York, built a new observatory and a home for Brooks' family. Brooks went on to become Director of the Smith Observatory at Hobart College, Geneva, New York, where he lectured and undertook his astronomical research. His observations at the Smith Observatory produced 16 new comets. He specialized in the discovery of comets, including periodic comets 12P/Pons-Brooks and 16P/Brooks. He also discovered the bright naked-eye comet C/1911 O1 (Brooks), and was a pioneer of astrophotography. In his life, Brooks received medals from the Lick Observatory, the Astronomical Society of the Pacific, the International Jury at the St. Louis Exhibition, the Astronomical Society of Mexico, and the Lalande Medal of the French Academy of Sciences in 1899. Brooks was also appointed a Professor and Honorary Doctor of Science by Hobart College.

Lot: 131 - Antique c. 1900 Photograph of Suffragist / Abolitionist Elizabeth "Libby" Smith Miller Sitting with a Booklet Platinotype Photographic Print

Elizabeth Smith Miller (September 20, 1822 – May 23, 1911), known as "Libby", was an American advocate and financial supporter of the women's rights movement. Elizabeth Smith Miller was the daughter of Gerrit Smith and his second wife, Ann Carrol Fitzhugh. She was born September 20, 1822. In 1843 Elizabeth married Charles Dudley Miller and moved to Geneva, New York. The Smith home in Peterboro, New York was a station on the Underground Railroad. Her mother, Ann Fitzhugh Smith frequently traveled the area in a closed carriage. On these trips she was often "replaced" by a veiled fugitive on her way to Canada. In 1837, Elizabeth Smith and her cousin Elizabeth Cady, and others, were introduced to the fugitive slave Harriet Powell and afforded the opportunity to speak with her for hours about her experiences. Such meetings were arranged by Gerrit Smith to introduce his family and friends to the realities of slave life, and thereby encourage them to be involved in abolitionist efforts. Elizabeth Smith Miller is best known for the fact that she first wore the costume of Turkish pantaloons and knee length skirt popularized by Amelia Bloomer in The Lily. Reportedly, she began wearing the outfit after seeing this type of clothing on a trip to Europe. Dress reform was a significant focus of concern among early women's rights activists, and was strongly advocated in the Smith household. Rebellion against the fashion of the day, requiring women to dress in voluminous and constraining fashion, was both a practical necessity and a focal point of social reform. The "Bloomer" costume was worn for some time by most of the leaders in the women's rights movement. It was altered many times, and ultimately abandoned because of the amount of attention given to its criticism in the popular press efforts. The platinum / palladium process was invented in the first half of the 19th century but a reliable commercial process was not introduced until the 1880s. It was popular for practical reasons as platinum is very stable so prints do not deteriorate over time. It is a very permanent image, and was highly valued for this reason.

Lot: 158 - Antique c. 1900 Photograph of Suffragist / Abolitionist Elizabeth "Libby" Smith Miller Large Silver Bromide Photographic Print

Elizabeth Smith Miller (September 20, 1822 – May 23, 1911), known as "Libby", was an American advocate and financial supporter of the women's rights movement. Elizabeth Smith Miller was the daughter of Gerrit Smith and his second wife, Ann Carrol Fitzhugh. She was born September 20, 1822. In 1843 Elizabeth married Charles Dudley Miller and moved to Geneva, New York. The Smith home in Peterboro, New York was a station on the Underground Railroad. Her mother, Ann Fitzhugh Smith frequently traveled the area in a closed carriage. On these trips she was often "replaced" by a veiled fugitive on her way to Canada. In 1837, Elizabeth Smith and her cousin Elizabeth Cady, and others, were introduced to the fugitive slave Harriet Powell and afforded the opportunity to speak with her for hours about her experiences. Such meetings were arranged by Gerrit Smith to introduce his family and friends to the realities of slave life, and thereby encourage them to be involved in abolitionist efforts. Elizabeth Smith Miller is best known for the fact that she first wore the costume of Turkish pantaloons and knee length skirt popularized by Amelia Bloomer in The Lily. Reportedly, she began wearing the outfit after seeing this type of clothing on a trip to Europe. Dress reform was a significant focus of concern among early women's rights activists, and was strongly advocated in the Smith household. Rebellion against the fashion of the day, requiring women to dress in voluminous and constraining fashion, was both a practical necessity and a focal point of social reform. The "Bloomer" costume was worn for some time by most of the leaders in the women's rights movement. It was altered many times, and ultimately abandoned because of the amount of attention given to its criticism in the popular press efforts.

Lot: 220 - Antique c. 1900 Profile Photograph of Suffragist / Abolitionist Elizabeth "Libby" Smith Miller Silver Bromide Photographic Print

Elizabeth Smith Miller (September 20, 1822 – May 23, 1911), known as "Libby", was an American advocate and financial supporter of the women's rights movement. Elizabeth Smith Miller was the daughter of Gerrit Smith and his second wife, Ann Carrol Fitzhugh. She was born September 20, 1822. In 1843 Elizabeth married Charles Dudley Miller and moved to Geneva, New York. The Smith home in Peterboro, New York was a station on the Underground Railroad. Her mother, Ann Fitzhugh Smith frequently traveled the area in a closed carriage. On these trips she was often "replaced" by a veiled fugitive on her way to Canada. In 1837, Elizabeth Smith and her cousin Elizabeth Cady, and others, were introduced to the fugitive slave Harriet Powell and afforded the opportunity to speak with her for hours about her experiences. Such meetings were arranged by Gerrit Smith to introduce his family and friends to the realities of slave life, and thereby encourage them to be involved in abolitionist efforts. Elizabeth Smith Miller is best known for the fact that she first wore the costume of Turkish pantaloons and knee length skirt popularized by Amelia Bloomer in The Lily. Reportedly, she began wearing the outfit after seeing this type of clothing on a trip to Europe. Dress reform was a significant focus of concern among early women's rights activists, and was strongly advocated in the Smith household. Rebellion against the fashion of the day, requiring women to dress in voluminous and constraining fashion, was both a practical necessity and a focal point of social reform. The "Bloomer" costume was worn for some time by most of the leaders in the women's rights movement. It was altered many times, and ultimately abandoned because of the amount of attention given to its criticism in the popular press efforts.

Someday I hope you can try again for me. Very Truly, Frances Folsom Cleveland, June 14, 1886. He was an accomplished photographer winning many awards. The platinum / palladium process was invented in the first half of the 19th century but a reliable commercial process was not introduced until the 1880s. It was popular for practical reasons as platinum is very stable so prints do not deteriorate over time. It is a very permanent image, and was highly valued for this reason. The main attraction of platinotype is, however, aesthetic. The process produces wonderfully rich grey-tones and a matte finish due to the print being laid directly on paper without the need for an emulsion. Those characteristics are demonstrated in this wonderful photograph.

Lot: 230 - RARE Antique c. 1890 J.E. Hale Picture Studio 3 Section Lafayette W. Seavey's Scenic Studio Screen w/ Floral Motif Background Prop

It was used by J.E. Hale in his studio. In 1881, there was a photographer’s convention at the American Institute in New York. An article in the New York Times reported that the largest number of photographic displays with images and photographic apparatus were from the principal western cities” (New York Times, 10 April 1881, page 8). At the conference L. W. Seavey gave an illustrated lecture about dry plates. This was great publicity for his business. I find this absolutely fascinating; especially in light of the Leadville article about the new L. W. Seavey photographic backings. L. W. Seavey placed an advertisement in the New York Clipper, “Theatrical scenery, new and second hand, and to order. Home and foreign trade. Send stamp for illustrated circular. Some credit Seavey as establishing the first scenic studio in the United States, with his establishment dates ranging from 1857 to 1865. By the time he shipped painted backings to Brisbois in Leadville, his establishment had been operating at least two decades. L. W. Seavey was a big name, a New York name, and well-known scenic artist.

Lot: 281 - Antique c. 1910 Original Pyro-Gallic Acid E. Schering Advertising Tin w/ Label

This tin found in the attic was used by J.E. Hale at the studio for developing some of his photos. Pyrogallol is the oldest photographic developer, its rapid deposition of silver from silver salts having first been noted in 1832. Alkaline solutions of pyrogallol absorb oxygen efficiently and are used in determining the oxygen content of gas mixtures. Though a popular photographic developing agent in the 19th and early 20th centuries, pyrogallol largely fell out of favor around the 1920s, although it was still used by a few notable photographers including Edward Weston. In those days it had a reputation for erratic and unreliable behavior, due possibly to its propensity for oxidation. In 1851, Ernst Christian Friedrich Schering opened the Grüne Apotheke (Green Pharmacy) in Berlin's Chausseestraße, and in 1871 converted into the name Chemische Fabrik auf Actien (formerly E. Schering). This date is the company's date of incorporation.

Lot: 287 - Antique c. 1900 Lot of 6 Portrait Photographs of a Young Woman Platinotype Photographic Prints

The platinum / palladium process was invented in the first half of the 19th century but a reliable commercial process was not introduced until the 1880s. It was popular for practical reasons as platinum is very stable so prints do not deteriorate over time. It is a very permanent image, and was highly valued for this reason. The main attraction of platinotype is, however, aesthetic. The process produces wonderfully rich grey-tones and a matte finish due to the print being laid directly on paper without the need for an emulsion. Those characteristics are demonstrated in this wonderful photograph. Platinotype printing declined as a commercial process soon after the end of WW1 due to the escalating cost of platinum. It use has continued popularity in art photography.

Lot: 312 - Antique c. 1900 Lot of 6 Misc. Gentlemen Platinotype and Silver Bromide Photographic Prints

The platinum / palladium process was invented in the first half of the 19th century but a reliable commercial process was not introduced until the 1880s. It was popular for practical reasons as platinum is very stable so prints do not deteriorate over time. It is a very permanent image, and was highly valued for this reason. The main attraction of platinotype is, however, aesthetic. The process produces wonderfully rich grey-tones and a matte finish due to the print being laid directly on paper without the need for an emulsion. Those characteristics are demonstrated in this wonderful photograph. Platinotype printing declined as a commercial process soon after the end of WW1 due to the escalating cost of platinum. It use has continued popularity in art photography.

The main attraction of platinotype is, however, aesthetic. The process produces wonderfully rich grey-tones and a matte finish due to the print being laid directly on paper without the need for an emulsion. Those characteristics are demonstrated in this wonderful photograph. Platinotype printing declined as a commercial process soon after the end of WW1 due to the escalating cost of platinum. It use has continued popularity in art photography.
