- Lot Description
Set of 15 Stereographs, Whiting's Travel Series, set no. 153 The Great World War. Whiting's unique format with notches top and bottom center (would fit Whiting's sculptoscope or "Magic Photo Album Educator Viewer" and other devices). In original envelope.
Set of 25 colored stereographs, maker uncertain. Set no. 131, "Franco-British War Views" circled on back of box. Most of the color is pink and green, which enhances the 3 dimensional effect.
Set of 50, in battered Gevaert Gaslight (photographic) Paper box. These are single photographic images with double views, numbered and labeled on verso. With Geo. Nightingale & Co. identification on verso (Weston-S-Mare).
File box with 251 stereographs:
55 Realistic views of scenic places. Seven are of Norway, a few others of continental Europe. The majority are Holy Land and other Near Eastern locations, with a few from India as well.
There are 2 French views, one of a soldier eating soup in the trenches, the other of the intersection of branching trenches. No maker identified.
Group of 24 views by the International News Service. These are sepia-toned photographic prints on light cardstock, with captions. Each with $2 retail marking in pencil on verso.
Twenty colored views of the war, no maker identified.
Two complete sets (1 - 50) of Geo. Nightingale & Co. Great War Battlefield Series, Section 1. Plus 24 additions views (duplicates) from Series I. All of these with Nightingale's Weston-S-Mare address. And 11 views with Nightingale's Normanton Avenue, Bognor address, with the note: "These photos are finished and printed by Ex-service men at the Reflex Studios and Press, Parkstone." Not much is known of Nightingale, other than the latter information. This seems to have been his only foray into the world of stereoviews, and he used it to support veterans in later printings.
Also a group of 8 views by "H.D. Girdwood, B.A. Publisher." All views of India, with copyright date deliberately destroyed on each card.
Last group is seven Boer War images by Underwood & Underwood.
Provenance: The Alan Culpin Collection of World War I ArtMost acceptable or better. Just a few with bends, most of which have been repaired.Condition
