“This event features some of the most historically significant photographs ever assembled,” said JG.Limited president and founder Jared Gendron. “From abolitionists and suffragettes to inventors, doctors, scientists and political leaders, this auction documents many of the iconic figures of the 19th century. It’s possibly the largest group of Meserve photos offered in decades.”
Alongside these historical icons, the auction also offers images of art and cultural figures, including the greatest poets, painters, and theatrical figures of the era. Many of these images are virtually impossible to find, featuring early printings made directly from the original glass plate negatives by the renowned photography collecting pioneer Frederick Hill Meserve (1865-1962).
The photographs are original period silver prints and platinum prints dating to 1913 or earlier. They are part of a full volume of photographs produced by Meserve. Each one is 2.125 inches by 3.25 inches and set into the original paper frame, with corners set into slits, so it is removable. Annotations are in the frame’s lower border, written in pencil by Meserve.
Bidders need to know that 30-minute extended bidding starts on July 23rd at 8 pm Eastern time. The clock will then reset for another 30 minutes each time a bid is placed. The 30-minute clock reset is unique for every lot; each has its own unique countdown during extended bidding.
