Antique 1800s CABINET CARD Civil War Era Family Portrait on board Photo VTG B&W

Description: Rare & Original - ONE OF A KIND PHOTO extracted from a very important photographer’s estate in Clearwater Florida!! This was stored with some of George’s favorite and most treasured photos. Not only was he the photographer for our county and city for over half a century, many people entrusted and or left photos there during estate liquidations and or after deaths. So we have a huge variety of things to offer you here. Over his 70 years of being next to the Clearwater courthouse many photographs were entrusted to our photographer, and he collected many others. We have no way of knowing as much as we’d like to about many of them but fortunately this one had some writing on the back. Our photographer did not take this photo as he did not start his professional career until the mid-1930s This is the only one of this image found in the estate and is in pretty good condition for its age. The board is 5x7 in and has some damage to the cardboard. The photo is a bit faded. A COA from the estate will come with your purchase George Fulmer. Photographer for the city of Clearwater for over half a century. Also a Navy enlisted photographer during WW2. After cleaning out the residence & studio in 2014, we have been sorting through over 100,000 photographs for the last 10 years, and are finally offering some of the best ones up for sale individually. We hope to Bring recognition to his life's work as well as to find homes for some parts of the history of an entire city as documented by the city photographer. Parts of the collection are being held together by the estate for exhibition purposes in the future. Holding a piece from this collection will be rare. Much of the contents from the estate were taken by the historical society before we were asked to go inside. The photographs we hold from this estate, include everything you would've expected a city photographer to have been present for; from weddings, to new construction, aerial photographs, sporting events, school events, press photography, police, Jaycees, and a really nice, but VERY LIMITED collection of nude photographs, some possibly from a nudist camp that is still in operation here today. Even more limited, there were a handful of his war era photographs that we were able to save. The photos that are being offered here, were well preserved, found inside the home and studio, in a cool, dry, cellar type setting. George did a lot of work for the newspapers so you'll see things pertaining to Clearwater Florida, much of it from the early 1950s. Being in the same location next to the Clearwater courthouse for over half a century, he was also entrusted with and gifted many photographs that go back to the late 1800s that were left behind and are currently in our collection. Some of those will be offered here as well. FOLLOW US ON EBAY !!!
