this is just a great original piece. I recently acquired a wonderful small collection of photography from a local estate. I actually bought the estate in order to get a few photographs for my personal collection. There were also a couple in the lot that I am offering this week. This is a wonderful c1930s original photograph by hermann lythgoe. For those not familiar with the photographer I have included his biography below. This is a wonderful large bromoil print measuring 11 x 14 inches. Photo is in outstanding as printed condition. Photograph is on its original mount that measures 11 1/4 x 14 1/4 inches. Artist's original stamp on the back of the mount with the title in pencil.. Photograph is archival taped verso to a matte. Ready for framing. Photograph originally came from a charity auction donated by a gallery. Includes the original label from the gallery.

For those not familiar with the artist his biography from a dealer who is selling the artist's photographs reads: " A chemist by training, he graduated from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in 1896 and went on to become the longtime Director for the Division of Food and Drugs at the Massachusetts Department of Public Health in Boston.
