Well,
Took a trip to the local thrift store today and found a 5'x2' piece of something! It's a complete repro of the ceiling of the Sistene Chapel. Printed between 1796 and 1906. Reverse side of framing has the gallery stamp and seal. The gallery was Vickery, Atkins, and Torrey but at their Post street location in SF. The post street location closed after the quake of 1906.....cant find any information on prints or images of the entire ceiling that were produced prior to 1900. Any takers willing to investigate a bit with me?

Well, I kind of have a thing for buying things I think I can research. I'm not so much concerned as to the value. I really enjoy finding the story behind things as I think those are generally far more valuable than the item.

Well, after a lot of research it turns out the earliest print photos were allowed in the 1860s by a gentleman named Adolph Braun, his work wasn't an overall portrait but rather a detail of each piece, never put together. Wondering is this could be that.
