AUTHORBIO: Michael Ivankovich has been collecting hand-colored photography for over 25 years, especially David Davidson, Fred Thompson, and Sawyer. He is generally considered to be the country's leading authority on Wallace Nutting and Wallace Nutting-like pictures, as well as WallaceNutting books, furniture, and memorabilia. He is the author of Collector's Guide to Wallace Nutting Pictures, Early 20th Century American Prints, and Wallace Nutting Furniture. REVIEW: This book is devoted to Wallace Nutting, America's foremost photographer. Between 1900 and his death in 1941, he sold literally millions of hand-colored pictures. His work achieved such enormous popularity that hardly an American middle-class household was without one during the first quarter of the twentieth century. This book shows collectors what key characteristics to look for, what is common and what is rare, and what the difference is between a good, better, and best picture.

Wallace Nutting pictures are still (and temporarily) plentiful at all the online auction houses. This book will definitely protect you in the forest of sellers and allow you to wend you way through acquisitions without bumping your head or losing your wallet. Gives a good grounding in the world of buying and selling Wallace Nutting Photos. What sizes, what titles, what's there, how rare, how much, etc. Don't go to the auction without it! Very well done and very complete.
