(Correction) The image in the Dag is not guaranteed to be as listed.

QUARTER PLATE DAGUERREOTYPE OF JOHN TAYLOR WOOD. This image which was attributed to Whitehurst dates from the mid 1850’s when John Taylor Woods would have been about 25 years old. Woods is shown wearing a uniform of the era with U.S. Navy buttons. John Taylor Wood during the civil war was Confederate Colonel of Cavalry and also served as a Captain in the C.S. Navy. He saw much combat during the war, and a biography was written on him published by the University of Georgia. Prewar he taught at Anapolis, whene this picture was probably taken. John Taylor Wood’s name appears in back of case but not in contemporary ink, but we do believe this image to be Wood after consultation with a couple naval collection experts. CONDITION: Image is very good with good contrast. Whitehurst photographed this subject with a dark background so it almost appears insignia and profile are floating. Whitehurst was known to be a very artistic photographer. Leatherette case has same border on both front and back design but decorated devices are different, and hinged on case is repaired. 4-32261 JS22 (4,000-8,000)

Auction: Firearms - Spring 2008

Please Note: All prices include the hammer price plus the buyer’s premium, which is paid by the buyer as part of the purchase price. The prices noted here after the auction are considered unofficial and do not become official until after the 46th day.
