Vintage Works, Ltd. been actively buying some wonderful photographs over the last six months that we just added to our websites. There is something for everyone: from early 19th-century pieces, to mid-century Modernism and Pictorialism, to Contemporary work. Nearly 300 new photographs in all!

Of course, this group doesn’t represent our full inventory of over 4,500 photographs by any means (or even all of our purchases this year). And to sweeten the pie, we are offering a limited time 20% holiday discount on all the already low listed prices. But only until the end of the year.(Museums please contact us for more extended terms if you need it).

Please let me know if you see anything there that you would like to discuss with us. I have made this as tempting as I can, but these are on a first-come, first-served basis, although I will honor serious “holds” from institutions. I expect that some images will sell quickly, so don’t hesitate if you don’t want to be disappointed.

You can either pay us by check, by credit card on the web site, or you can call us at the number below and arrange for other payment methods.

We also have several major collections of work for sale, including the largest and most diverse collection of paper and early glass plate negatives, and some of their matching positives, in private hands—over 350 unique and important pieces in all. This collection was partially featured in a cover article in the first issue of Classic Photography Magazine. Please let me know if you would like to make an appointment to see this incredible collection.
