In preparation for its annual Symposium & Photo Fair this fall, the Daguerreian Society is now accepting exceptional consignments for its yearly fundraising auction, to be held September 30 during the conference.

We invite you to take part in this exciting event, whether you’re a member of the Society or someone who wants to participate through consigning a high-quality image or two.

The Society offers extremely competitive commission rates for important daguerreotypes, ambrotypes and tintypes. Your property will be featured in a small, curated auction and marketed to private collectors and institutions throughout the world.

The auction will be held LIVE during the Daguerreian Society Symposium and broadcast for live internet bidding worldwide. All commission goes directly to the Society!

Consignment deadline: July 15.
