16. | ![]() | Montgomery P. Simons 1848 (ca) Henry Clay Daguerreotype, 1/2 plate Swann Galleries - New York Sale 2208 Lot 33 A commanding half-plate daguerreotype of Henry Clay, the "Great Compromiser," with an inscription, in ink, in a period hand, on verso reading "given by Henry Clay to Isacca Fuller;" in a leather case. Henry Clay was one of the most distinguished figures in American political life. He represented Kentucky in Congress from 1806 until his death in 1852, with a few breaks for cabinet duty or a presidential campaign--he ran four times without success. A political moderate, he brokered the Compromise of 1850 that kept the United States intact. A nearly identical portrait of Clay was copyrighted by Philadelphia photographer Montgomery P. Simons. Simons wrote in to the Photographic Art Journal in 1853 to discuss this sitting: "My likeness of Mr. Clay, which has elicited so many encomiums from the press, and which you have been pleased to criticise so favorably, as a valuable likeness, is still more valuable for having associated with it a pleasing and characteristic anecdote of that great statesman. This anecdote made such a strong impression upon my memory, as being a most elegant impromptu, that I am now able to give it to you verbatim, although it has been several years since it happened. At the time I took the picture of Mr. Clay, he was on a visit to Philadelphia, and the guest of one of his warmest friends, Mr. Potter, who accompanied him to my Gallery. As Mr. Potter and myself were about arranging Mr. Clay's drapery, I asked him if he had any choice of position; his answer was, 'None whatever, sir; I am Clay in the hands of a Potter, let him mould me as he will.'" |

Historic pictures of the Paris uprising of 1848, the first photographic images to be used in a news story, sold for $265,000 when Sotheby's auctioned them. Illustrations based upon the Daguerreotypes of M. Thibault were published in the French magazine L'illustration n. 279 -280, 1 to 8 July 1848. The two daguerreotypes -- images on metal plates -- were taken by a pioneering French photographer named Thibault during the tumultuous June revolt in which more than 3,000 Parisians were killed. The plates were turned into engravings which appeared in the French newspaper L'Illustration Journal Universel alongside a story about the uprising. Thibault's first photograph of the rue St. Maur on June 25 shows a deserted cobbled street piled high with debris to form barricades. The second image, taken the following day, is of the same street, this time filled with inhabitants and soldiers with cannons. This Daguerreotype was bought with the aid of the Photographic Heritage Fund in 2002 and is now part of the collections at the Musée d'Orsay in Paris ® RMN (Musée d'Orsay) / Hervé Lewandowski. |

(Part one) (New York Times, September 25, 2007) Which Came First, the Chicken or the Egg? (Part two) (New York Times, October 4, 2007) The Getty Museum (Los Angeles) provides the following caption information: …in coming to a ravine called the valley of death, the sight passed all imagination: round shot and shell lay like a stream at the bottom of the hollow all the way down, you could not walk without treading upon them… (Roger Fenton) Fenton's most famous photograph is also one of the most well-known images of war. Across a desolate and featureless landscape, not a single figure can be found. The landscape is inhabited only by cannonballs-so plentiful that they first appear to be rocks-that stand in for the human casualties on the battlefield. The sense of emptiness and unease is heightened by the visual uncertainty created by the changing scale of the road and the sloping sides of the ravine. Borrowing from the Twenty-third Psalm of the Bible, the Valley of Death was named by British soldiers who came under constant shelling there. Fenton traveled to the dangerous ravine twice, and on his second visit he made two exposures. Fenton wrote that he had intended to move in closer at the site. But danger forced him to retreat back up the road, where he created this image. On a commissioned assignment, Fenton traveled in 1853 to the Crimean peninsula on the Black Sea, where England, France, and Turkey were fighting a war against Russia. To avoid offending Victorian sensibilities, Fenton refrained from photographing the dead and wounded. His more than three hundred images of encampments, battle sites, and portraits of all miltary ranks, became the first extensive photo-documentation of any war. When exhibited in England, Fenton's photographs of the Crimean War established his reputation.

In 1857, Le Gray was commissioned to produce an album of photographs documenting the maneuvers of the French Imperial Guard at the Camp de Ch"lons. His series of images encompassed every aspect of military life, from the daily routine in the camp to simulated combat. The firelit activities of the camp at night, however, were beyond the technical capacity of photography, leaving Le Gray to photograph a painter's rendition of a nighttime scene. The gap between the photographer's art and that of the painter is so wide, however, that Le Gray's picture tells more about the nature of these two media than about its supposed subject. |

Writing on the attack on the Taku Forts in China - 21st August 1860 I walked round the ramparts on the west side. They were thickly strewed with dead in the north-west angle thirteen were lying in one group round a gun. Signor Beato was here in great excitement, characterising the group as "beautiful," and begging that it might not be interfered with until perpetuated by his photographic apparatus, which was done a few minutes afterwards. Not far from this group, a tall and very dignified-looking man of between fifty and sixty, stated to be the general who had conducted the defence, was lying dead, his lower jaw shattered by a rifle bullet. |
