^Lot 193 Andrew Carnegie

Scottish-born industrialist and philanthropist (1835–1919) who earned his fortune in the burgeoning American steel industry. Very rare vintage matte-finish 6 x 8 formal portrait of Carnegie, affixed to its original 8 x 10.75 mount, signed on the mount in fountain pen, and also signed on the mount by the photographer. In fine condition, with some mild toning to edges of mount, which could easily be matted out. Just the second signed photo we have offered, Carnegie is quite scarce in photos of this size.
