1950s VTG Lot 4×5 Kodak Film Negatives Photo Reprinting 2.5 POUNDS Cool Images
First of all you should know that these images were all extracted from a massive photographers estate in Clearwater Florida. All of the images here were taken by George Fulmer, a professional photographer for over 75 years. Found stored in a cabinet in the photographers estate. All are good for reprints. All 1951 to 1953. This lot includes events like a Pinellas county music festival, Pinellas county sarsaparilla, two years of May Day at North and South Ward high schools, Largo high school cheerleading & basketball and 2 packs of dance recitals. I said in the ad there’s about 200 images here but there’s probably more than that. It’s a good conservative guess anyway without having to touch the negatives anymore than I have already had to, in order to find out. 2.5 pounds including the photos & packets. All of the packets except for one have negatives that are in excellent condition. The other one which only has two negatives I’m throwing in because I think the image is cool and it’s worth saving. There’s some really neat images here & these would be great for the practicing photographer for sure!! I’m sure there’s some neat surprises inside. ONE OF A KIND NEGATIVE PACKS from a very important estate in Florida! 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 the history of an entire city as documented by the city photographer. The photographs 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 from a nudist camp that is still in operation here today. Even more limited, there were a handful of war photographs and film that we were able to save, but it was not much as unfortunately for some reason, he had stored the war photographs outside where they were exposed to the weather, and sadly they had been completely destroyed. The photos that are being offered here were well preserved, found inside the home and studio, in a cool, dry, cellar type setting. This is quite a project for only two curators, so please follow us, and be patient as we slowly unveil the contents of this massive estate. And always, if you see something that you like, please make an offer!
