Query<br />
Fakes/Reproductions<br />
Expertise in fakes/reproductions needed!<br />
I’m looking for any information on fake<br />
and/or reproduction daguerreotypes and<br />
associated frames/cases to be included in<br />
an article for Antiques & Auction News.<br />
I’m interested in such information as:<br />
how buyers can recognize reproduction<br />
daguerreotypes as well as frames and cases<br />
of the era; how buyers should examine a<br />
cased daguerreotype to be sure it’s not a<br />
newly-made reproduction and what the<br />
telltale di�erences would be; and any other<br />
information about fakes or reproductions<br />
and how buyers can avoid them. Any<br />
personal experience in this area would<br />
also be helpful, as well as your opinion<br />
on how prevalent you feel this problem<br />
is. �e article will be read by all levels of<br />
collectors, so no information is too basic.<br />
Any information contributed to the article<br />
will be credited to the contributor (unless<br />
otherwise requested) and �e Daguerreian<br />
Society. Please contact me no later than<br />
April 24. �ank you!<br />

Query<br />
I am an author and journalist based in the UK. I researching the<br />
story of the ‘discovery’ of the sequoia trees in California in 1852.<br />
It is known that Isaac W. Baker was taking daguerreotypes in<br />
the area around that time, and that the Bancro� Library holds a<br />
painting by him showing the felling of one of the trees in 1853.<br />
�ere is also talk that he might have taken a daguerreotype of<br />
the fallen tree, but no example seems to still exist today. I’m<br />
desperate to �nd out more about this man. Are you able to help,<br />
or recommend anyone to speak to?<br />
Best wishes, Leo Hickman<br />

Query<br />
Trick Photographs<br />
For an exhibition on the history of manipulated photographs<br />
before Photoshop, I am seeking daguerreotypes and tintypes<br />
featuring multiple exposures, extensive retouching, unusual<br />
hand-coloring, or other notable image alterations. Many thanks!<br />
