Pair of identified sixth-plate daguerreotype housed in a thermoplastic case (Krainik 235), Geometric/Scroll. The images are identified by paper adhered to the glass as Philip and Patience Councilman. An interested genealogical browser has informed me that they once lived in

J. Gurney, NY. Lot of 4 daguerreotypes, 2 signed by Gurney. First is a quarter-plate daguerreotype of New York City Quaker Adonijah Jackson Underhill (1800-1854) by J. Gurney, 189 Broadway, NY. Underhill was a NYC businessman and the son of Adonijah Daniel Underhill and Mary Jackson of Jericho, L.I. In 1793 Adonijah Daniel Underhill received 200 acres of land in Jericho on Long Island, along with slaves to work it. He immediately freed all the slaves and hired them as "freemen." Underhill was active in anti-slavery activities and he was involved in the development of a Quaker Meeting that is still active. A slightly variant daguerreotype, also by Gurney no doubt taken at the same sitting, of Adonijah Jackson Underhill was offered on ebay in October 2005 which led to the identification of this group of daguerreotypes. That image is now in the collection of a Quaker school near Philadelphia. This image has its original seals and is housed in a full, split leather case.
The second image is a half-plate daguerreotype by Gurney of Underhill's son. This image has its original seals and is housed in a full leather case.
The third image is a quarter-plate daguerreotype of a younger Underhill with his son. This image has an old reseal and could use resealing. Housed in a half-leather case.

Isaac Rehn, Philadelphia. Stereoscopic Ambrotype measuring 3 .25" x 4.25" of a gentleman seated with his arm on a table, an empty chair by his side. This is in a "Mascher's Improved Stereoscope" viewing case. The mat with double oval windows has "Ambrotype by Rehn" in the lower left corner and  "Patent  July 4th & 11th 1854" in the lower right corner. The viewing panel has very clear gilded lettering for Mascher's patent, March 8th 1853. Lifting the viewing panel exposes a rich gilded advertisement which reads as follows: "Stereoscopic Ambrotype Picture, Surpassing any thing for Depth, Clearness, and RELIEF, which the Art has yet produced. Also Ambrotype & Mezzograph pictures taken at The Gallery of Photography by Isaac Rehn, No. 126 Arch Street, above Sixth, South side, Philadelphia." Rehn is one of the most interesting figures of this ambrotype era. He was responsible for patenting the process, along with Cutting, although others had paved the way. He was very active in the spiritualist movement, and the spiritualists connected the luminous process of the ambrotype with spiritualism. They were especially fascinated with his stereoscopic ambrotypes.  This is an excellent example of the Mascher case, and the Rehn process used in an outstanding stereoscopic image. The case has minimal wear, hinges and clasps intact and strong. $925
