Antique c. 1875 William F. "Buffalo Bill" Cody Cabinet Card by Napoleon Sarony Photographer New York City Studio
Est: -
Napoleon Sarony (1821-1896) photographer. Noted New York City photographer Napoleon Sarony photographed "Buffalo Bill" Cody quite often throughout the 1870s. This image presents a young Cody with a long hairstyle, wearing a "porkpie" hat and civilian attire. In 1866 Napoleon Sarony returned to New York City after a multi-year sojourn in Europe and England. A nationally known graphic artist and publisher of lithographs, he had retired from active participation in Sarony & Major in 1858. He departed for Europe craving artistic stimulation. He visited the ateliers of Paris and Brussels, haunted the studios of London. Yet what most galvanized his imagination was photography, an art practiced by his brother, Oliver, in Scarborough. After a thorough grounding in the chemistry of wet plate developing and enlarging, and instruction in optics, he opened his studio in Birmingham, England, specializing in carte de visite portraits, and occasional celebrity pictures. Because the premises at 680 Broadway had not originally been intended as a studio-gallery, Sarony opened a second location for his enterprise. In late April 1877 he moved into a more suitable building at 37 Union Square.

Est: $300 - $500
Cabinet card featuring an unpublished self portrait of Napoleon Sarony taken at his New York studio located at 680 Broadway, which he occupied from 1866-1871. Originally from the archives of the famous New York art collector, Chester Dale (1883-1962), which is annotated on mount verso. ______________________________________________ Born in Quebec in 1821, Sarony moved to New York at the age of 15 to work as a lithographer for Nathaniel Currier, holding this position until 1843 when he established his own lithography firm. In 1867, Sarony opened a photography studio in New York at a time when celebrity portraiture was highly popular. Sarony, known for his colorful and eccentric personality, quickly became the preeminent photographer of his day, producing portraits of virtually every star of the New York stage, including Sarah Bernhardt, the actress he reportedly paid $1500 to pose for his camera. Among the thousands of people that came through Sarony's studio were many other distinguished, high-profile figures including Civil War General W.T.

Napoleon Sarony, Exceptional Collection of Self Portraits, Incl. Only Known Hard Image of the Photographer
Est: $5,000 - $10,000
Lot of 14, comprised of 13 self portraits of the highly popular nineteenth century portrait photographer Napoleon Sarony (1821-1896), including a tintype of the artist and autographed cabinet card, as well as a " Tile Club" card, 2.5 x 4.125 in., signed and inscribed by Sarony, who added his Tile Club nickname " Ye Hawk" below his name. The Tile Club was an exclusive group of artists, writers, architects, and musicians working in New York City between 1877-1887, and, in addition to Sarony, it included important forces such as Winslow Homer and William Merritt Chase. Born in Quebec in 1821, Sarony moved to New York at the age of 15 to work as a lithographer for Nathaniel Currier, holding this position until 1843 when he established his own lithography firm. In 1867, Sarony opened a photography studio in New York at a time when celebrity portraiture was highly popular. Sarony, known for his colorful and eccentric personality, quickly became the preeminent photographer of his day, producing portraits of virtually every star of the New York stage, including Sarah Bernhardt, the actress he reportedly paid $1500 to pose for his camera. Among the thousands of people that came through Sarony's studio were many other distinguished, high-profile figures including General W.T. Sherman, and writers such as Mark Twain and Oscar Wilde. The highlight of the collection is the 3.25 x 4.75 in. tintype showing Sarony posed with two young women and a man in his studio. While he looks at the camera out of the corner of his eye, Sarony is also handing one of the young ladies what appears to be a cased image or lens cap. This is believed to be the only known hard image of the photographer. In addition, the collection features a ca 1860s CDV of a young Sarony, credited to J. O'Neil, Broadway, NY, and eight cabinet card portraits of the photographer, each credited to Sarony, but listing three different street addresses in New York, including 680 Broadway, 37 Union Square, and 11 E. Sixteenth Street. Two cabinet cards show Sarony wearing an overcoat in a snowy studio setting, with one autographed in top margin, " Kind Regards / Napoleon Sarony / 1888." He is also shown wearing a military-inspired uniform in two portraits, as well as a Shakespearean costume. One portrait features the photographer posed with royalty, and a more intimate cabinet card captures Sarony later in life, standing in his studio or apartment, looking off into the distance. A caricature of Sarony, highlighting his flamboyant style, is enclosed, along with a 4.75 x 7.25 in. photograph on 5.5 x 8.75 in. mount showing the interior of Sarony's salon, which showcases fine art from his art collection. Also included is a 3 x 4.5 in. photograph of Sarony, copyrighted by B.J. Falk, 1895, and mounted on page with biographical information regarding the famed photographer.
