    Photograph of Rococo style furniture

    Paris: NP, C1880. An attractive photograph of three pieces of Rococo furniture. Numbered by hand #385 N.D. There is no indication what this means, it could be a furniture seller's reference, or a photo library archive. We suspect the former (the temptation to assume that N.D. is no date should be resisted, as in French this would be S.D.) The photograph has some light creasing and marking to it. The furniture set in the image is in the French Louis XV (Rococo) style, characterized by its ornate carvings, cabriole legs, and shell motifs, all hallmarks of mid-18th-century French decorative arts. 24cm x 29cm.

Il n'y a pas d'indication sur ce que cela signifie, il pourrait s'agir d'une référence d'un vendeur de meubles ou d'une archive d'une photothèque. Nous pensons qu'il s'agit de la première hypothèse (il faut résister à la tentation de supposer que N.D. est sans date, car en français, il s'agirait de S.D.) La photographie présente quelques plis et marques légères. L'ensemble de meubles figurant sur l'image est de style Louis XV (rococo), caractérisé par des sculptures ornementales, des pieds cabriole et des motifs de coquilles, autant de caractéristiques des arts décoratifs français du milieu du XVIIIe siècle. 24cm x 29cm.

It was popular from 1860-1890, and was often used to create Carte d'visite.

    Photograph of the inside of the Mezquita de Córdoba

    Cordoba (Spain): NA, 1880. An attractive photograph of the pillars inside the Mezquita de Córdoba (The mosque). By an unknown photographer. Circa 1880-1890. Pasted onto a stiff grey mounting card, with calligraphic title beneath ("Del inre af Kathedralen i Cordova"). It bears the number 8 in the negative, so may be a tourist photograph. The photograph is in good condition with a couple of small nicks to the edges. 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 220mm x 280mm. The mount size is 345mm x 410mm.

(The Free French forces in world war 2, under de Gaulle, had used this symbol). This is pinned over a background which states "CRS SS" multiple times. The CRS (compagnies républicaines de sécurité) was the National Reserve Force to deal with strikes and demonstrations. In fact this slogan dates back to 1948 when the CRS was first formed. The wall also shows a hand written sign for a manifestation in the evening of the 19th at St Lazare. Public demonstrations were often (and are still often) held in the space in front of the St Lazare station. This is almost certainly a large print of a reportage / press photograph of the time. In red ink to the reverse is written "68." The central poster was used in the 1968 student riots, and although we have been unable to trace this photograph, there is an "internet ghost" of it, which states it was taken in May 1968. Condition is excellent, with no significant marks or dirt to it.

    . Grande photographie argentique noir et blanc (40 cm x 29,5 cm) d'un mur de Paris en mai 1968. La photographie montre une affiche d'Hitler cachée derrière un masque de Charles de Gaulle, qui porte la Croix de Lorraine en guise de brassard. Ce dernier porte la Croix de Lorraine en guise de brassard (les forces françaises libres de la Seconde Guerre mondiale, sous la direction de de Gaulle, avaient utilisé ce symbole). Le tout est épinglé sur un fond où l'on peut lire plusieurs fois « CRS SS ». Les CRS (compagnies républicaines de sécurité) étaient la force de réserve nationale chargée de gérer les grèves et les manifestations. En fait, ce slogan remonte à 1948, date de la création des CRS. Le mur montre également une pancarte écrite à la main pour une manifestation dans la soirée du 19 à St Lazare. Les manifestations publiques étaient souvent (et sont encore souvent) organisées dans l'espace devant la gare St Lazare. Il s'agit très certainement d'un grand tirage d'un reportage ou d'une photographie de presse de l'époque. Au verso, on peut lire « 68 » à l'encre rouge. L'affiche centrale a été utilisée lors des émeutes étudiantes de 1968, et bien que nous n'ayons pas été en mesure de retrouver cette photographie, il existe un « fantôme internet » de celle-ci, qui indique qu'elle a été prise en mai 1968. L'état de l'affiche est excellent, elle ne présente aucune marque ou salissure significative.

It is called the Ladies Château as successive women shaped its legacy, including Diane de Poitiers, who added the river-spanning bridge (1556–1559) and created extensive gardens, and Catherine de Médicis, who built the grand gallery (1570–1576).

Le château de Chenonceau, souvent appelé le « château des dames », est un magnifique chef-d'œuvre de la Renaissance du XVIe siècle situé dans la vallée de la Loire, en France, qui enjambe de manière unique le Cher sur une structure en forme de pont. Construit principalement entre 1514 et 1522 par Thomas Bohier et son épouse Catherine Briçonnet, il a remplacé une ancienne forteresse médiévale. Il est appelé le château des dames car ce sont des femmes qui ont façonné son héritage, notamment Diane de Poitiers, qui a ajouté le pont enjambant la rivière (1556-1559) et créé de vastes jardins, et Catherine de Médicis, qui a construit la grande galerie (1570-1576).

    - Two collodion paper prints showing the harbour of Lyttelton, New Zealand by an unknown photographer, and a landscape view across the Bealey near Christchurch, New Zealand taken by E. Wheeler & Son - these also mounted on the recto and verso of an oblong of grey card.
    - One unmounted collodion paper print is of the Waimangu Geyser, which is located near Rotorua, New Zealand. This says JM2070 on the front - and possibly refers to the James Ingram McDonald (the painter, photographer, filmmaker, museum director, cultural ambassador, film censor, and promoter of Maori arts and crafts) and may have been taken whilst he was employed by the New Zealand Government Tourist Department in the early 20th Century. The geyser was known to erupt on a cycle of around 36 hours and would reach heights of up to 450 metres. Written on the verso of the photograph it reads: "The column of steam is about 1200 feet high". This geyser stopped erupting in 1904.
