TO BUY:
I am interested in obtaining cartes de visite and cabinet photographs taken in Australian and New Zealand studios to add to my collection and to assist in my research into early photographers. I will buy photos on any topic including plain family portraits, famous people, streetscenes, buildings, ships etc. either singly, in bundles or in original albums. As one of the biggest private collectors of these items in Australia I guarantee to pay an excellent price, better than you are likely to be offered by a dealer or obtain at auction. I am also willing to renumerate people who spot such items in local auctions, junk shops, antique shops etc. for letting me know of items for sale or for purchasing such items on my behalf. |
I have collected cdvs and cabinets avidly for 9 years now, concentrating
on Australian and New Zealand studios and I have concurrently researched
the photographers who made them. I hope others will enjoy sharing
a little of the rewards I derive from collecting card photos, an obsession
referred to in the 19th century as cartophilia.
