Robert White
Tony Davis at Cligancourt Flea Market in Paris searching for 19th century photographs
1998 (ca)
LL/18105
As a collector and a dealer I specialize in 19th century large format photographs with an emphasis on ethnographic images from Japan, China, Indian sub-continent and the Pacific Rim. My topographical emphasis is on the same countries with the addition of N. & S. America. To me the most important thing is the image not who the photographer was. If we know who, then that is a bonus. My niche in the market for 19th century images are the ethnographic studies and many of these have been acquired by museums and collectors around the world.
In an average year I'll probably look at upwards of 100,000 images and purchase around 500. My job is to select the best of what I see, judging the photographs on the composition, condition and rarity. By doing so I make it easier for my clients to make their own selections.
My general rule is to only buy photographs I personally like and can live with for a lifetime. I continue to search for great images and travel on a regular basis to different countries in my quest and network with dozens of collectors.Tony Davis
