Also note that this oversized still was purchased from Profiles in History in a lot of 17 oversized stills that measured different sizes and were taken by either Ernest A. Bachrach or Fred Hendrickson (and some were signed by one or the other, but this one is NOT signed). Our consignor received a "group" certificate of authenticity from Profiles in History, and he sent us a photocopy of that, which is not included with this item (but you can see an image of it on the auction for "Underwater" (this came from the same Profiles in History auction). Because this still was created on a heavy board, it will need to be sent in a large flat package. Condition: very good to fine. The photo is mounted to a heavy board, which was done by Mr. Bachrach in 1936, but he did not sign the board or the photo. Learn More about condition grades
