Item History & Price
| Reference Number: Avaluer:47722373 |
The images with the blue tinting that I've provided, are the most accurate representations of the photograph that I'm listing. I have converted the image to Black and White to a better examination of the details in the content. Please remember that. It is not a black and white or a sepia image.
This great photograph measure 8 1/2 " x 11" and has a lot going for it. You're looking at the interior of a very early Harley Davidson Motorcycle Dealershi...p which was identified on the back as being "Wogan's Cycles in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania (the location of probably the most popular Civil War battlefield). But upon examination of a magnified area showing the side of one of the Service cars on the left, I can read " ***LLER CYCE CO." So, I can't say for sure who's dealership this is and will leave the research up to the lucky buyer. In the same handwriting someone in the past also wrote, "Aunt Margie, Uncle John Stitley was salesman - Lilly". This information was on the photograph when I bought it, though I can't provide any sort of proof supporting or refuting it.
This photo is very unique and unlike any format that I've ever come across before. The best that I can use to describe it is that which is listed in the title, "Cyanotype" due to the resulting bluish photographic image. At first, I had suspected that it was from some sort of magazine but there is no print on the reverse or any evidence of it being a back cover of one. I would really appreciate anyone who might be able to educate me about this format by the way. As stated in the condition report, there are no tears or creases, but there is a fair amount of wrinkling, which should be able to be properly remedied.
Good luck in your bidding on this one.
