Photos

In this section, the percentage of sales consistent with the general statistics of the auction: sold about 70 percent of the lots ( for photography is not just good, but very nice).

I note a number of things that were predictable and generally confirmed. Result of the auctions are usually dependent on how much we now know is a person, pictured here, the format of the photos and the surroundings. Least likely to change owners have pictures depicting the Warrant Officers and Captain-lieutenant, known mostly only to contemporaries, business size, made in the studio. Despite the historical and biographical information, which the organizers have provided descriptions of these lots (for which they have special Respect), so it happened: the photos of little interest aroused. Perhaps the point here is that their main value lies precisely in the field of historical and family, but it is not collectible (except much just the collection is a very specialized). The struggle unfolded in the main photo for high personages, members of the imperial family - which is important, recognizable people. Their images in an informal setting, family portraits, close in size to the Imperial format, became the objects of the real fighting rates.

For example, serious battle unfolded for lot number 69.
