The American Furniture & Decorative Arts Auction in Boston on October 30, 2011 features the Early Photography Collection of Rod MacKenzie. As a collector, he has a sophisticated taste for images that speak to the viewer emotionally, historically, and artistically. The part of the collection at auction in October includes 150 lots of daguerreotypes, ambrotypes, and tintypes, many in rare hard plastic cases. Portraits of military officers, soldiers, men at their occupations, young couples and families, and children at school are all represented. Rare examples include daguerreotypes of mid-19th century houses and a parade.
