Thank you to
Ernst Massen
for telling me about a daguerreotype by Moffat that he is offering for
sale on the German eBay web site.
The photo
is in a leather case with the inscription on the outside:
60 PRINCES STREET
MOFFAT
EDINBURGH
60 Princes Street was
Moffat's studio address from 1858 to 1860. The photograph was offered
for sale over 7 days ending 23 October 2005 with a reserve price of Euro
79. With three days to go there had been no bids. |

Thank you also to James Irvine Robertson, Aberfeldy, Perthshire,
Scotland, for telling me about
another Moffat Daguerreotype. James writes:
|
"I have a daguerreotype of a woman with
MOFFAT
19 PRINCES STREET
embossed on the red leather frame. The identity of the sitter
is suspected and she died in 1856."

The address, 19 Princes Street, was John Moffat's studio from 1856 to
1858.
