Description
Up for auction here is a collection of original historic Newswire photos. There are a total of 52 high quality authentic photos in the album. The collection comes in a binder with each photo in a separate plastic sleeve. Each photo has the news picture agency from the era's stamp on the reverse with the detailed description of the article that may have been used in a publication at the time. Almost all of these photos are from the 1930's. There are some that are earlier also. Here' are some of the features you'll see below: Franklin D. Roosevelt, Albert Einstein, King & Queen of England, Prince of Wales, Mussolini, Nazi soldiers, Reichstag trials, famous Opera singers... and plenty more. Here is a bit of info about News Wire photos: Wire Photos were extensively used in print media during the first half of the 1900's. Issued by news agencies (such as Acme, NEA, International News, Associated Press, UPI, Fotogram,) only to the press, these gorgeous pieces capture a historical moment, frozen in time, as they were issued on the day the event happened. Unfortunately they were issued in extremely limited quantities solely for print media industry usage (it is estimated that there were approximately 25 - 50 of EACH particular photograph made). Over the years, many were destroyed or lost, and in some cases, there are only 1 or 2 specimens known to exist today of a particular photograph making these Original, First Generation Vintage Photographic relics are Outstanding Investments. (NOTE: Original Photos or Wire Photos can be distinguished from contemporary reproduction photographs or "copies" (which are worthless, many of which you'll see on eBay for a dime a dozen) by one or more of the following signs: (1) the photographer or news agency stamp (2) the news print/caption attached on the reverse (and on the obverse for many post-1950's pieces), (3) age of the photographic paper stock. (Source: www.cvtreasures.com) PLEASE NOTE: EACH PHOTO SHOWN BELOW HAS A NEWS WIRE STAMP ON THE REVERSE AND AN ORIGINAL PAPER ATTACHED WITH THE DESCRIPTION OF THE PHOTO.
