Important Added Info: Note that our consignor, who was in the publishing business and is an extreme expert on negatives, tells us that this negative was taken by Clarence Sinclair Bull. It is not identified as such on the negative, but we absolutely believe that he knows what he's talking about! Note that this is a negative that was in the camera when the photographer shot the photo (see below for more on this). We have put a scan of the negative that shows the "positive image" (in addition to a scan of the negative image). REMEMBER THAT WHAT YOU RECEIVE WILL BE A PHOTOGRAPHIC NEGATIVE, NOT A POSITIVE IMAGE LIKE YOU ARE SEEING. However, we will provide the winning bidder of this auction that positive image scan that is both high quality and not watermarked (on request to the winning bidder, and only the winning bidder). We scanned it, so that bidders could see just how high quality it is. What are camera original negatives? These often (but not always) have retouching on the emulsion side, and negative numbers written in India ink on the front. Depending on the studio some 8x10 negatives may be trimmed or have numbers or information embedded into the sides of the negative. Obviously, camera original negatives are far more rare (and far more desirable) than studio-issued ones, but both are very high quality. Condition: fair to good. The negative has a strong vinegar smell. It can be "aired out", but bear this in mind before bidding. There is retouching on the emulsion side, typical of many (but not all) camera original negatives (see above). Learn More about condition grades
