Important rare and unique work, both fine art and vernacular, brought a variety of buyers to the fore, with especially active bidding by institutions. Leading the auction and closing to applause was Photographic Views of the Red River Raft, 1873, one of three extant copies of Robert B. Talfor's documentation of the second attempt to clear debris from Louisiana's Red River.
