    [ANON]
    Photograph of the Rock of Gibraltar

    NA. An attractive photograph of the rock of Gibraltar, by an unknown photographer. Circa 1880-1890. Pasted onto a stiff grey mounting card, with gilt border. The photograph is in good condition, with a slight marking to the top left corner of the sky. The mounting card is in good clean condition. Dating from this period, it is difficult to distinguish between and albumen print and an early silver gelatin card mounted photograph. We lean towards the latter. Photograph size is 160mm x 205mm. The mount size is 290mm x 370mm.

    . Jolie photographie de deux hommes posant pour une photo à la base du rocher de Gibraltar (à un point au sud-est, appelé Europa Advance Road), par un photographe inconnu. Vers 1880-1890. Collée sur une carte de montage rigide de couleur grise, avec le titre écrit en calligraphie. La photographie est en bon état, avec seulement de petites imperfections. La carte de montage est en bon état de propreté.

Les dimensions de la photographie sont de 210 mm x 155 mm. Le format du montage est de 33 mm x 245 mm.

  • A Lovely Photograph Album From 1895
    Souvenir De Voyage 1895-1899. by [ANON]
    [ANON]
    Souvenir De Voyage 1895-1899.

    1895. A lovely album, containing 74 large original photographs from five trips. These are Berlin 1895, French Alps and Nancy in 1896, Trier in 1897, Interlaken and the Swiss Alps in 1898 and the Tirol in 1899.

    The photographs were purchased from prominent commercial photographers of the time. The French photographs are largely from ND Phot, the Swiss from Schroeder & Cie of Zurich and Edition Photoglob.

    The majority of the prints are either albumen or early silver gelatin prints. As the early silver gelatin were so similar to albumen it is difficult to tell. There are a number of colourised prints. Most of the prints are quite large, with quite a few as large as 210 mm x 275…

    The majority of the prints are either albumen or early silver gelatin prints. As the early silver gelatin were so similar to albumen it is difficult to tell. There are a number of colourised prints. Most of the prints are quite large, with quite a few as large as 210 mm x 275 mm.
    Most are printed one to a page, but a couple of the smaller prints are printed two to a page. One of the images is a double / folding photograph. Album size 27cm x 36cm Un bel album, contenant 74 grandes photographies originales de cinq voyages. Il s'agit de Berlin 1895, des Alpes françaises et de Nancy en 1896, de Trèves en 1897, d'Interlaken et des Alpes suisses en 1898 et du Tyrol en 1899.

    Les photographies ont été achetées auprès d'éminents photographes commerciaux de l'époque. Les photographies françaises sont en grande partie de ND Phot, les suisses de Schroeder & Cie de Zurich et d'Edition Photoglob.

    La majorité des épreuves sont soit à l'albumine, soit à des épreuves gélatino-argentiques anciennes. Comme la première gélatine d'argent était si semblable à l'albumine, il est difficile de le dire. Il existe un certain nombre d'imprimés colorisés. La plupart des tirages sont assez grands, avec un bon nombre aussi grand que 21 cm x 27,5 cm
    La plupart sont imprimés un à une page, mais quelques-uns des plus petits tirages sont imprimés deux à une page. L'une des images est une photographie double / pliante. Taille de l'album 27 cm x 36 cm
