This auction contains a vast collection of cameras and related items from the International Photography Hall of Fame (IPHF) collection, St. Louis, Missouri. The collection encompasses the entire history of photography as well as the pre-photographic era. First conceived in 1965 as the Photographic Art and Science Foundation by the Professional Photographers of America Association, the aim of IPHF is to promote the history of the art and industry of photography and recognize historic photographers and inventors. In 1977 IPHF opened its collection to the public at the Brooks Institute of Photography in Santa Barbara, California. Later, IPHF was based in Oklahoma City and is currently operating out of St Louis. At the end of 2022, the Board of Directors of IPHF voted to focus on honoring members of the Hall of Fame including collecting their works. In addition, IPHF is continuing its commitment to education and international growth. As part of this process IPHF reviewed its collection and determined that its decades-in-the-making camera collection was ultimately not fully compatible with its current mission. Instead, these rare, vintage, and sometimes unique cameras have been deaccessioned and made available for sale to the public. The core of the IPHF camera collection was built by the late Ernest H. Brooks Sr., who founded of the Brooks Institute in 1945. It grew into one of the most successful private arts schools in the US. His son, Ernest Jr., a famed marine photographer, along with others, also contributed to the collection. Interspersed with the cameras are many high-quality lenses and a good selection of early movie cameras and projectors. The auction begins with a section of pre-photographic items as well as photographic viewing instruments. The second part of the auction will be comprised of mostly large lots of later cameras and other photographic materials, incl. 35 mm, Kodaks, movie cameras and projectors, dark room equipment, and the like.
