About Charles Clifford

Born

1820

Died

1863

Nationality

Welsh

Charles Clifford, represented here with a working birth year of 1820 and a death year of 1863, was a Welsh photographer based mainly in Spain. Wikidata identifies him as Welsh, while VIAF and Getty-linked authority data classify him as a photographer and connect his activity with Spain. His precise birth year remains unsettled: authority forms range from about 1819 to 1821, so 1820 is best treated as a practical entity-matching value rather than a resolved date. Collectors may encounter Clifford’s name in catalogues for nineteenth-century photography and within Appraisily’s auction-record index. Reliable matching should combine his occupation, Spanish activity, life dates, and authority identifiers because the name alone is not distinctive. The collected sources do not provide enough detail to assign a photographic process, formal movement, recurring subject, or named series confidently. Appraisily therefore presents the supported identity while leaving more specific cataloguing to evidence attached to each work.

Photography

Common works and media

Photography is the only common work type firmly supported by the collected sources. The evidence does not justify naming a specific photographic process, subject group, edition type, or series. Individual objects should therefore be described from their own physical characteristics, inscriptions, provenance, and catalogue evidence rather than assigning a more specific label to Clifford’s output by default.

Market and appraisal context

Appraisal begins by confirming that the object and catalogue record relate to the Welsh photographer active mainly in Spain, rather than another Charles Clifford. The source pack supports photographs as the common auction category, but it does not establish a particular process, subject, edition structure, or market trend. Work-level evidence should therefore be compared like for like: the object’s catalogued identity and work type should be checked against available public auction records, with sale date and realized price interpreted through genuinely comparable lots. The page’s input of 265 auction records is an evidence pool, not proof that every entry has the same attribution or object type, and past results should not be treated as predictions of present value.

Auction categories and appraisal factors

Common auction categories

  • Photographs

Value drivers

  1. Secure identification as the Welsh photographer active mainly in Spain, rather than a namesake
  2. The catalogued work type and its match to genuinely comparable public auction records
  3. Sale date and realized price considered in the context of comparable lots when those records are available

Appraisal caveats

  • The source pack contains no detailed major-auction-house biography or lot-level evidence supporting a process-specific or subject-specific market analysis.
  • The input count of 265 auction records is an evidence pool and does not by itself establish record-level attribution, comparability, or a price trend.
  • No collected source excerpt supports claims about scarcity, editions, condition sensitivity, or recent market direction.
