eMoviePoster.comAuction History Result 1x079 JESSE L. LASKY 8x10 negative + still 1930s in 1910s with Native Americans on Paramount truck! Date Sold 11/18/2018Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. A Photographic Negative (measures 8" x 10" [20 x 25 cm]). Also included is an 8" x 10" still of the negative (see below) (Learn More) Jesse L. Lasky was a producer from the 1910s to the 1950s. He was a key founder of Paramount Pictures and father of screenwriter Jesse L. Lasky Jr. Some of his movies include: The Great Caruso, Sergeant York and The Gay Deception. He passed away in 1958 at the age of 77. Important Added Info: Note that this auction is for both the negative of this image and a vintage 1930s still that was created from that negative. Because this negative and transparency were found together with another one from 1931 showing Mr. Lasky and Cecil B. DeMille in an image from 1914, we strongly suspect that this was made at the same time and is likely a 1931 negative and print that show a 1914 image. Note that this is a negative that was in the camera when the photographer shot the photo. We have put a scan of the negative that shows the "positive image". REMEMBER THAT WHAT YOU RECEIVE WILL BE A PHOTOGRAPHIC NEGATIVE, NOT A POSITIVE IMAGE LIKE YOU ARE SEEING. However, we will provide the winning bidder of this auction that positive image scan that is both high quality and not watermarked (on request to the winning bidder, and only the winning bidder). The negative is in a plastic sleeve (but we removed it and scanned it, so that bidders could see just how high quality it is). It will be sent to the winner of the auction in its plastic sleeve. These often (but not always) have retouching on the emulsion side, and negative numbers written in India ink on the front. Depending on the studio some 8x10 negatives may be trimmed or have numbers or information embedded into the sides of the negative. Many smaller format camera original negatives do not have retouching on them or numbers due to their smaller size. 8x10, 5x7 and 4x5 negatives were primarily the sizes used in the 1920s through the 1940s. 2 1/4" Rollei negatives and 35mm negatives became an industry standard in the 1950s and beyond until the digital revolution in the late 1990s and early 2000s. This is a very special auction of 710 extremely rare negatives and transparencies of various sizes, plus lots of sets of 35mm slides. EVERY single one in this auction is either "studio issued" (meaning it was created by the studio and sent to theaters and movie outlets), OR it is a "camera original" (meaning it was the actual negative that was in the camera when the photographer took the picture). Every auction clearly identifies which they are, and there are no items being auctioned that are not either "studio issue" or "camera originals". We have divided them by type and size. Also note that this auction is for one or more negatives, and every one of the 185 auctions of negatives we are currently running have been scanned expertly. This auction contains the scan(s) of the negatives in this auction, and they have been scanned so that you see a "positive" image (and we have added an "eMoviePoster.com" watermark over it), but the auction is for the actual negative. The winner of this auction and ONLY the winner of this auction will, upon request, be sent the UNWATERMARKED scan(s) of the negative(s) in this auction, which will both save them the time and expense of scanning them themselves, and also allow them to make positive prints of the items they purchased, if they desire. Condition: very good. Learn More about condition grades
