Opening: $200 Hammer Price: $200 SOLD Skylight Gallery 35 March 2013

CDV-format albumen print circa 1880 showing a nature study by Constant Famin. The card is imprinted on reverse "C. Famin Photographe / 26. Avenue D'Orleans" but with the remarkable addition in period pen "et Madame Famin" ("and Mrs. Famin"), apparently indicating that Famin's wife was involved in the production of either the original images or their CDV-sized versions.   ( Inventory# id474a )

Some images in this group were found signed "...et Madame Famin" and others simply "...et Madame", but clearly all with the same intent, see comparison of inscriptions below.
