Artikelbeschreibung des Verkäufers

- sc A 14 inch high by 11 inch wide black & white gelatin silver photograph of the explorer Carveth Wells depicted in three-quarter profile from the waist up. Attired in a white shirt with rolled up sleeves, a pith helmet tilted at a rakish angle on his head, Carveth Wells glances over his right shoulder. The explorer's shadow is cast upon the white marbled background. The photographer's name "Hal Phyfe" is embossed in blind at bottom left and his credits are additionally stamped on the verso "This photograph must be credited to Hal Phyfe when published / 50 West 56" and the number "1188-C" is penned in black crayon. This original photograph was intended for publication as testified by editorial annotations and several crop marks penciled on the verso. The edges and corners are creased and there is some soiling to the margins with pinholes at the corners. There is a heavier horizontal crease along the bottom.

Initially trained as a sculptor and painter in Europe, he enlisted in World War I, specializing in aerial photography.
