Description: This is a very rare and a very unique opportunity to obtain an original photo of old Florida from 1889. It is labeled across the top that this is the fair building from 1889 and I have been told that people believe this is from the original Tampa, Florida fair. This is a museum piece! This antique photograph captures the beauty of Florida in the late 1880s. The image depicts a Florida boat, horse, and buggy, along with the impressive Florida Fair Building. The photograph is printed on high-quality cardboard and paper, and is rough matted for protection. The black and white image is a single piece, and is possibly the Tampa, Florida fair building from 1898. Hey if you recognize this photo is a different area. Please let me know because I have been told that it is Tampa, but I could be wrong. The one thing that makes this photo so unique is the large size of approximately 7 1/2 x 9 1/2“. The vintage photograph is a great addition to any collection, and is perfect for those interested in the history of agriculture, cities and towns, and the Caribbean. The photograph is an original, and is not a licensed reprint. It is a one-of-a-kind piece that is sure to impress any antique photography enthusiast. This is mounted onto a very rough matted piece of cardboard and does contain staining as you can see in the photo. The photo is definitely not in perfect condition, but it is amazing that this photo was found and this belongs in a museum or a private collection. I’ll put this photo up at auction, but I’m not going to start it cheap. I would rather sell it on Christie’s auction because there are very serious collectors, looking for genuine old photos of old Florida. This is a serious collectors item and don’t even bother making low offers because I will not even consider them. I would rather keep the photo for myself even contemplate selling it for less than 500 and that is probably a steel. Start off at 500 and hopefully it will go up much much higher and the right person will see it because I will promote the auction to the maximum ability. This photo will not be shipped in an envelope where it can be damaged, but it will be shipped in a heavy duty box so don’t whine about the shipping costing more. I’m simply trying to preserve your investment. I will also take out insurance on the package as well as demand signature confirmation for receipt. I did set the shipping hire because of the extra services that I will be paying for including the shipping and insurance and signature confirmation.
