Fine Black And White Photographica XLVIX
Fine Black And White Photographica XLVIX proudly presents the amalgamation of important historical works from World War I, the U.S. Civil War and Vietnam protests in New York City attended by actors Shirley Maclaine & Tony Randall. Specific WWI photographs capture the rescue of passengers aboard the Lusitania (the British cruiser ship sunk by a German submarine), American anti-aircraft machine gunners, General John J. Pershing the WWI U.S. commander plus much more collectible militaria. Native Americana abounds across the Crow Indian Maskers, Hopi, Pima, Peruvian muleteers, Ute, Dakota, Northwest Plateau nations, Prince Edward Island basket weavers and other nations. Alexander Gardner and Matthew Brady again unite in Photographica_XLVIX to offer continued, splendid fare relative to the Civil War while Edward Sheriff Curtis, Throssel and other photographers reveal the dignity and versatility of Native Americans. The presence of Portraiture remains strong in this current auction with multiple looks at sophisticated slave children from New Orleans, fashion statements by the Red Cross Motor Corp's uniform, Berlin's 2009 Lulu Glasser, plus an uber rare image of 1st Lady Mary Todd Lincoln wearing a floor length formal gown. And in gala effect, a special feature offers a series of Parisian photographs from Euro-Contempo that display the novel beauty and resilience France's capital commands as the City of Lights.
