This listingis for a very rare CDV size geometric union case, Berg No. 3-58. The motifs onthe case are in excellent condition but there are some minor issues along therails. The photos actually exacerbate the issues on the rails. They are muchbetter in person.
The casehouses a CDV of a seated man. The paper image is in excellent condition and hasa London School of Photography mark on the reverse. I can’t tell if he isholding something in his hand or if it’s a defect in printing. It is definitelynot a tear or scrape in the surface of the image.
I am inthe process of listing and selling my collection of Daguerrean era photographicimages and cases (mostly thermoplastic Union Cases often mistakenly referred toas “Gutta Percha”), acquired over the past 40+ years. Used to protectdaguerreotypes, ambrotypes and tintypes, the cases are an art form in their ownright. I still have more than 300 cases and images yet to be listed, so pleasecheck back often for new items.
A Noteabout Condition. I leave cases and images in their “as-found” condition. I donot attempt to repair cases. If original seals are present on an image I willnot disturb them. If an image is unsealed, I will clean the cover glass ifnecessary but I do not attempt to clean the images themselves.
