Two International News Photos Silver Gelatin Press Photographs of John D. Rockefeller, Sr. Playing Golf, 1929
This lot consists of a pair of original press photographs of tycoon and perhaps the most poweful man in the US at the time John D. Rockefeller, Sr. engaged in a game of golf. One photograph depicts Rockefeller in the middle of a golf swing, while the second image shows him standing on the green, leaning on a golf club and holding his gloves in his other hand. The photographs have been trimmed with decorative stepped corners. The verso of each print features a purple ink stamp with a winged eagle logo reading: THIS PHOTO IS SUPPLIED BY INTERNATIONAL NEWS PHOTOS, INC. 235 EAST 45TH ST. NEW YORK CITY SYNDICATE PROHIBITED NOT TO BE USED FOR ADVERTISING PURPOSES WITHOUT WRITTEN PERMISSION. Both prints include handwritten notations in blue grease pencil or ink on the reverse reading Rockefeller Sr and the date 7/11-29. One photograph bears additional pencil inscriptions reading John D. above the name and FROM ACC below. A small circled 2 is also present in pencil on one verso.
