This is an extremely odd untrimmed and unmounted albumen print. Apparently Le Secq may have given or sold his 1851 paper negative. Besides the original Le Secq handwritten signature and date reversed out of the negative, there is an additional typeset negative number (7668) and title reversed out of the negative in French, along with a logo mark associated with Mederic Mieusement. And then to add further confusion, there is a small handwritten negative number (7163) written in ink at the bottom edge.
Most U.S. domestic Fed Ex ground shipping (Media Mail for books) is free of charge except for larger and heavier items, or unless the buyer wants express shipping (email us your requests for the latter). International shipping and insurance costs will be added to the price and must be paid for by the buyer. Pennsylvania buyers must pay appropriate local sales tax. International clients are responsible for their local customs duties and taxes, which will be charged by Fed Ex, which will contact the client prior to delivery.
