1) Leather frame, 9.5 x 12 cm, a lady with a cap and elaborately colored dress. ÿ 2) Case, 9.5 x 12 cm, a father and young daughter with braided locks. ÿ 3) Former case as a frame, 9.5 x 8.5 cm, 2 brothers and 2 sisters. ÿ 4) Case, lid loose, 9.5 x 12 cm, a father always commanding respect, holding a case containing the apparently deceased mother of 7 children, with the grandmother to his right. A very beautiful and serene image. ÿ And: 5) Brass frame, 11 x 14 cm, a lady with her 3 children, excellently photographed and colored using two window panes in the background, with emulsion damage.

布雷克拍品等级是为了方便竞买人判断拍卖品的成色而设置的。布雷克等级用1到6级来标注外观和功能的成色，(从非常好到非常差)。 在目录图册里用括号里的2个数字来表示，前一个数字表示外观成色的级别，后一个数字表示功能成色的级别。如(3/2)表示外观成色是3(满意的)，功能成色2(好)。 成色 定义参照下列标准： 1 - 非常好 (未使用过，没有使用痕迹) 2 - 好 (新，极少的使用痕迹) 3 - 满意的 (普通的使用痕迹) 4 - 及格的 (明显的使用痕迹，某个非主要部件是后配的) 5 - 有缺陷的 (极明显的使用痕迹, 某个主要部件是后配的，功能上有缺陷，需要修理) 6 - 非常差 (严重破损, 缺少重要部件)
