DESCRIPTION:This image, which shows two daguerreotype cameras, lens, head stand and bizarre numbered board against daguerreian-style painted backdrop, came about originally from a request by Hallmark Cards for a special exhibit on modern daguerreotypes. The commission requested still-lifes in the style of Dubosc-Soleil in quarter plate size. The images were titled: Astronomy, Physics, Botany, Autopsy, Literature and Photography. This image was then later recreated by the photographer in stereo format in an edition of three similar but each uniquely different images. Signed in the plate of the right image. Shipping and insurance costs will be added to the price and must be paid for by the buyer. Pennsylvania and New York buyers must pay appropriate sales tax. International clients are responsible for their VAT and other custom's oriented charges.
