About This Item
1922. unbound. very good. Exceptional heavy stock sepia matte finish photo measuring 12.5 x 9.5 inches. This shoulder-up image of the famed industrialist, photographed at Jollet studios, is inscribed: "To Cornelius Vanderbilt Jr. with sincere regards, C.M. Schwab, July 10th 1922." Mild erosion at the top corners (which remain intact) due to a previous framing. There is also a one-inch chip at the lower left-hand margin, with the piece having been reinserted like a jigsaw puzzle. It is far from the image and inscription. Very good(-) condition.<br/><br/> Schwab was an American industrialist under whose leadership Bethlehem Steel became the second largest steel manufacturer in the world. Cornelius Vanderbilt (IV) (1898 - 1975), known as "Cornelius Vanderbilt Jr." and "Neil" by his family and friends, was an outcast of high society and was disinherited by his parents when he became a newspaper publisher in 1920. By 1922, the year this photo was inscribed, Vanderbilt had lost all his newspapers to bankruptcy and was $6 million dollars in debt.<br/><br/>
