Wenceslas Cifka (Tscheraditz, Bohemia, then Austrian Empire, 1811 - Lisbon, 1884)“Portrait of Queen Mary II of England, in royal attire.”Painted in enamel on copper. Signed and titled on the back.20 x 17 cm.Based on the engraving published circa 1689-1694 by Peter Vanderbank (Vandrebanc) after the painting by Sir Godfrey Kneller Bt, kept in the National Portrait Gallery (reference no. NPG D32780).Wenceslau Cifka, also known as Václav Cífka, a versatile artist, arrived in Portugal in 1836 on the occasion of the marriage of Ferdinand of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha to Queen Maria II. He established himself mainly as a landscape painter at the Portuguese royal court.Gifted in the arts, and under Ferdinand's influence, he became a regular at auctions, acquiring important collections for the king's gallery. However, it was above all as an artist that he made his greatest contribution to Portugal. As a draftsman, lithographer, photographer, painter, ceramist and enameler, he left remarkable ceramic pieces and very special lithographs and enamels. He was one of the pioneers of photography in Portugal. He was also a pioneer of photographic techniques, he started using the daguerreotype in the 1840s and set up his studio at Rua Direita das Necessidades, nº 31 in Lisbon.He is the photographer of the first photographs of members of the royal family, who until then had only been portrayed by painters, starting with Ferdinand II, father of Pedro V.He is considered to be the first publisher of stereoscopic views in Portugal. Among his disciples were Carlos Relvas, Francisco Augusto Gomes and João Paulo Cordeiro Júnior. He was appointed photographer to the Royal Household and traveled around Europe with the King, specifically in 1854, to update and perfect his techniques in London, Paris and Berlin. As a friend and protector, King Ferdinand acquired most of his work and is represented in much of it, whether in photography or ceramics. His love of ceramics led Cifka to devote himself almost exclusively to artistic earthenware. At the end of his career he joined the Constância ceramics factory, where he specialized in glazes and ceramics. He participated in several exhibitions, at the Lisbon Industrial Exhibition in 1849, at the Philanthropic Exhibition of the Arsenal of the Navy in 1851, at the Paris Universal Exhibition in 1867 and 1878, among others. He was awarded the Gold Medal at the Portuguese Exhibition in Rio de Janeiro in 1879. He held several royal posts, among them that of Photographer of the Royal Household in 1855, Reporter of the Royal Chamber in 1859 and was named Knight of the Order of Christ in 1864. After his death, the artist's work was auctioned by his son Fernando Augusto Cifka and dispersed among private collections and institutions. A catalog was published for the occasion “ Leilão das Collecções de Gravuras, Livros ilustrados, Louças de faiança e da China, India, etc., etc., do fallecido Sr. Wenceslau Cifka, na Rua 24 de Julho 460, 1º andar (Aterro) a começar em 26 de Junho de 1884. Lisboa”.In the 20th century, there have been several exhibitions dedicated to Cífka held in Portugal, among which we highlight:“Wenceslau Cifka. Ceramist, Lithographer and Enameller”, 1949, National Palace of Pena in Sintra, Portugal. Edited catalog.“9ª Exposição Temporária. Desenhos do Album Cifka”, 1948, Museu Nacional de Arte Antiga. Lisbon.

Ganze-Platte-Kamera, um 1850–60Voigtländer, in Wien und Braunschweig (angenommen). Eine elegant und doch unauffällig wirkende Kamera (L x H x B = 47 x 30 x 30,5 cm) aus der Übergangszeit von der Daguerreotypie zum Kollodium. Diese konische Kamerabauweise ist auf die Voigtländer-Optik 3,4/27 cm Nr. 6533 abgestimmt (Trieb beweglich, noch ohne Steckblendenfassung, Glas unter Punktlicht sauber). Bei einer Aufnahme auf unendlich und ohne Fokussierung an der Optik beträgt der nötige Auszug am Kasten nur wenige Millimeter. Die konische Bauart bewirkt, daß die Kamera von vorne gesehen (also für die zu photographierende Person) unauffälliger wirkt – ein wichtiger Aspekt, um eine mögliche Voreingenommenheit einer Person dieser Epoche zu mindern, was für eine entspanntere Aufnahmesituation sorgte. Kameragehäuse, Objektiv und Mattscheibenrahmen sind original, der Anschraubring und das Mattglas wurde später erneuert/ergänzt. Aus alter Zeit stammen nicht originale dünne Holzleisten an der Unterseite der Kamera, die entfernbar sind. – Es gäbe nur wenige Kameras, die sowohl noch zu der Zeit passend als auch vom Format her geeignet wären, direkt neben eine Daguerre-Giroux-Kamera gestellt zu werden – hier wäre eine, und das in sehr gutem Erhaltungszustand. Start Price: EUR 3500 Zustand: (2-/3)Whole-Plate Camera, c. 1850–60Voigtländer, in Vienna and Braunschweig (assumed). An elegant yet subtle camera design (L x H x W = 47 x 30 x 30.5 cm) from the transition period from daguerreotype to collodion. This conical camera design is matched to the Voigtländer lens 3.4/27 cm no. 6533 (drive is movable, still without Waterhouse stop, lens clean under point light); when shooting at infinity and without focusing on the lens, the necessary extension on the box is only a few millimeters. The conical design means that the camera appears less conspicuous when viewed from the front (i.e. for the person being photographed) - an important aspect to reduce any possible bias of a person from this era, which ensures a more relaxed shooting situation. The camera body, lens and focusing screen holder are original, the screw ring and ground have been replaced/supplemented later, and there are thin wooden strips on the underside of the camera that are not original and can be removed. – There are very few cameras fitting in both era and format to be placed next to a Daguerre-Giroux camera, but this is such a piece, and it is in very good condition.
