Featured Time to Re-Organize My Home Gallery Walls. ❤️Maven

As some in Antiquers know, I have a private home gallery of some iconic original vintage & antique photography proofs & ephemera (I also own original negatives, some from the photos shown here). This collection is comprised of first generation original, and produced direct from the original negative proofs. I have quite a collection, framed, and un-framed. Today, I’m taking time to re-organize my home gallery, and perhaps put up some other ones to change/add to the walls here at home. Here is a collage of “just a handful” from my collection that are currently hanging throughout my home gallery, all come from galleries, private & estate collections of some of the icons shown here.....you may recognize a few! ❤️Maven

 

Those are beautiful, Maven! Thanks for sharing

 

Awe, Thank You @sabre123 I’ve taken much pride & care in gathering my collection. I have met many amazing people on this journey putting my collection together, so far. That makes it even more special. ❤️Maven

 

To gets these, either you must be a tireless researcher or you have incredible access. Wonderful material. Thanks for adding to my Sunday morning joy.

 

@KikoBlueEyes You are so kind. Putting this together I guess is a combination of both, I have truly had some amazing guidance, and have been able to make some “very credible” connections throughout. I am very grateful. ❤️Maven

 

As am I.

 

Very nice pieces you have there! I wouldn't mind owning them myself.
One question, since you mention owning the negatives to some of the items in your collection: do you print + sell (open or limited editions) of any of them?
Thank you for sharing!

 

Thank You very much @JayBee As far as the negatives, thus far I have mostly made prints privately for myself, a few for my framer Alex, he is an older gentleman that does a majority of the custom preservation framework for my proofs etc. He absolutely loves when I present him with a new project, he completely understands the nuances of the eras of photography, and the icons, his work is very high quality, impeccable. ❤️Maven

 

I enjoy the glamor shots most of all. Our world sadly seems to be lacking that these days. Even before the wretched covid.

 

So very true @johnnycb09 ❤️Maven
