Description

THIS AUCTION IS FOR:
: CABINET PHOTO OF "INITIATION TO DELTA UPSILON FRATERNITY, NOV 9, 1912  ONE GOOD TIME"
THIS IS AN OUTSTANDING PHOTOGRAPH.  I THINK IT VERY WELL ME BE ONE OF THE FIRST PHOTOGRAPHS OF FRATERNITY COLLEGE HAZING.  DONE IN 1912, THIS WAS AN EXPENSIVE PROCESS TO HAVE SOME DOCUMENT ANY SORT OF EVENT LIKE THIS.  FRATERNITIES OFTEN DID BROTHERHOOD PHOTOGRAPHS BUT NEVER WAS THE CAMERA AVAILABLE FOR EVENTS LIKE THESE.  THE REASON I CALL THIS A HAZING PHOTOGRAPH IS THAT ALL 9 MEN ARE DRESSED IN VARIOUS COSTUMES WITH THEIR FACE PAINTED AND EACH WITH SOME SORT OF FRESHMAN REFERENCE.  THE LOOKS ON THE FACES OF MANY OF THEM IS SOMEWHAT OF SHOCK.  IT HAS NOT BEEN AN EASY DAY.  EACH MEMBER IS NAMED ON THE BACK OF THE CARD AS WELL.  I DONT KNOW WHAT SCHOOL THIS IS FROM BUT WITHIN THE PHOTOGRAPH ALONG THE BACK WALL ARE PENNANTS OF COLGATE, NYU, MIAMI, BROWN & MARIETTA.  THE PHOTO ITSELF IS A BLACK & WHITE ALBUMEN PRINT MEASURING 4 3/4 X 6 3/4 INCHES.  CONDITION IS GOOD.  THERE IS A SMALL STAIN LOWER CENTER AS WELL AS CLOSER TO THE MARGIN BUT ALL IN ALL IT IS A VERY GOOD IMAGE.  ORIGINAL CABINET CARD WITH ALL THE INFORMATION ON THE BACK MEASURES 8 X 10 INCHES.  REALLY JUST AN OUTSTANDING PIECE OF AMERICAN UNIVERSITY AND FRATERNITY MEMORABILIA.  DONT MISS THIS CHANCE AS YOU ARE NOT GOING TO FIND PHOTOS LIKE THIS VERY OFTEN.
CHECK THE PICTURES ON THIS GREAT PIECE.  DONT MISS THIS OPPORTUNITY.
CHECK THE PICTURES ON THESE AS THEY ARE A GREAT INDICATION OF THE CONDITION.  IF YOU HAVE ANY MORE SPECIFIC CONDITION ISSUES PLEASE ASK BEFORE BIDDING.  SHIPPING AND HANDLING AND INSURANCE CAN BE CALCULATED
