The Showboat
Located in Carmel, CA
The Showboat (1933) is a vintage silver gelatin photograph by the renowned Ira Martin. This masterwork was so esteemed, that it was exhibited, in the 1930's, around the United States, including in Brooklyn, Chicago, East Orange, New York, Philadelphia and San Jose.
This silver gelatin photograph exhibits the tonal qualities of a platinum print, and the photograph's composition is extraordinary. The content also exists on several levels. On a basic level, it appears to depict a 1930's crowd watching a barker and performers on the S.S. Duke Mills Showboat, while it is docked on the Mississippi River in New Orleans. However, after contemplating the photo, one sees much additional activity, including African American performers, beneath the word "Plantation", looking down on the show from the boat's balcony; two men holding a conversation and the shadows of a kissing couple reflected on the pavement in the left foreground. Equally remarkable is the near empty right upper quadrant, which depicts a furling American flag against a cerulean blue sky. Frankly, this photograph belongs in a museum, due to the historic uniqueness of a time, place and event that will never be captured in such a profound manner again. Signed by the photographer, recto (front) and verso (back).
Ira Wright Martin (1886-1960) was a photographer who focused on architecture and street scenes, as well as abstract and still life works. Martin was raised in Michigan and became an aerial photographer for the Signal Corps...

"Hanna Seidel, observing the world through her camera lens, could capture everyday situtations in a unique manner."A touring exhibition containing 100 selected photographs entitled "From Rio Grande to Cape Horn" was organised by the Commerzbank and Lufthansa in 1965 and had its opening in the Cologne branch of the bank, Unter Sachsenhausen. At the time, the press described the works as being of "enchanting beauty and dignity."The exhibition of 1965 was curated by Hanna Seidel. Vintageprints offered for collectors come from this selection, each work is unique and exists only once, created as a unique print for the exhibition.
