Wallace Nutting was born in Massachusettes in 1861 and died in 1941. "He created what one site called a “cottage industry” of affordable photo prints that graced the walls of many middle-class families. He sold 10 million prints, he said in his autobiography, which explains why so many of them are still around. His best years were said to have been from 1915 to 1925. Nutting hired workers to “colorize” prints of his photos, and a few were authorized to sign his name. Some of his colorists went on to make names for themselves, but none produced works that are as prevalent as Nutting’s. The prints were made from the actual photographs that he took on his country rides – later in carriages and cars. The negatives were printed on platinum paper and then hand-colored. They were sold in frames." (per myauctionfinds.com) Take a look at the pictures for the best description. A photo is as good as a thousand words and is the best description of cosmetic condition.
