DescriptionDaguerreotypes of the officers of the Franklin expedition, 1845 - 12.jpg |
English: Harry Duncan Spens Goodsir, Assistant Surgeon, HMS Erebus. One of a set of 14 daguerreotypes of the officers of the Franklin expedition, 1845, from the studio of Richard Beard.
Offered for sale by Sotheby's in August 2023, when the set was described as "14 sixth-plate daguerreotypes (70 x 83mm.), each hand-tinted with shell gold applied to the buttons, hat bands and epaulettes of the officers' jackets, all but one sealed, each inscribed on the verso (in ink or etched with a stylus, denoting name and sometimes rank of sitter, name of ship on which they served, and date), housed in a contemporary partitioned, book-form morocco case (203 x 339 x 22mm.), the daguerreotypes presented in four rows, blind-tooling around edges of lid and tray and to outer edges and inner faces of side walls, inner surface of compartments lined with glazed burgundy cloth, accompanied by a manuscript list of officers in ink on laid paper "Provenance: Family of Sir John Franklin, by direct descent "...later rendered into woodcuts and published in The Illustrated London News on 13 September 1851 and Gleason’s Pictorial Drawing Room Companion on 18 October 1851. The images in The Illustrated London News are an exact mirror image". (The English Wikipedia article notes that Daguerreotypes were normally mirror-images, though right-way images were possible.) |
