Large, impressive 13" x 20" gelatin silver print signed H. Whitney, and dated 1909 in the negative. In a modern mat and frame. Harry Whitney was a wealthy sportsman who traveled to Greenland with Peary in 1908, and stayed for a year a more, hunting with the Eskimos, learning their language. He wrote about his experience in a book published in 1911, "Hunting with the Eskimos." As the only English-speaking person in that region, he played a role in the Frederick Cook hoax to claim priority over Peary in having reached the N. Pole. Vintage photographs by Whitney are extremely rare, and this shows him to be a sensitive master of the medium. The group about the boat is especially lovely. [4]

1) Our responsibility is to present the material clearly and accurately, giving you a good idea of what the object is, and what its condition. We present the lots with a minimum bid that is clearly stated. The material itself should speak to you. If you have questions, don't hesitate to contact us. We'll try to answer as best as we can. By following this policy we just about never have any returns or related problems. If it should happen that you find a lot is not what you expected from the description, just contact us and we'll try to make it right. In the rare case where something seems not quite as it was presented, you just have to let us know within 10 days of your receipt, and if you return it quickly in the condition it was sent, we'll give you full credit or a refund. We are almost never called upon to do this, and in those rare cases the underbidder was happy to get the lot.
2) Your responsibility is to deal with your Invoice quickly and responsibly. It will be sent to you by E-mail soon after the close of bidding. Your invoice will include the amount of your bid or bids, a reasonable charge for shipping and handling, and the 15% premium. NY State bidders without a current valid re-sale or tax exempt certificate on file with us will have to pay an 8.5% State sales tax. We prefer you pay your Invoice with a personal or business check or money order in U.S. dollars on a U.S. bank, made out to "Be-hold, Inc.," sent within a few days of the receipt of your Invoice. International bidders must pay with an International Money order in US dollars. If you would prefer to pay by credit card (American Express, MasterCard, Visa) just let us know when you receive your Invoice. We can easily charge the Credit Card you gave when you registered, but only if you let us know. If we don't receive your payment or clear instructions within 10 days after the Invoice is sent, we will offer the lot to the underbidder or take other appropriate action.
