These are original photographs extracted from a massive photographers estate in 2014. The George Fulmer studio & development center, was located next to our Clearwater courthouse for over 65 years before its demolition in 2015. We currently have well over 1500 lots from this estate listed in our eBay store, so make sure and check that out

A mixed lot of 17 photographs and the negatives to accompany them. There are five separate packages each one has some writing on it to identify what is inside. Each package is also numbered and all of these range between 1951 and 1953 some are dated and some are not but the consecutively numbered packages allowed us to date everything in the estate. Everything here is in very good condition the photographs will range between 2 1/2 x 4 and three-quarter inches up to 3 1/2 x 5“ depending on the package. One package contained photographs that look like they might have come from another setting. All of these are from the George Palmer studio and are George farmer originals. They were found stored in a cabinet where they had been for over 60 years before they were extracted from the estate.

A COA from the estate will come with your purchase.

George Fulmer. A Photographer for the city of Clearwater for over half a century. Also a Navy enlisted photographer during WW2.

After cleaning out the 7000sq ft residence & photography studio & darkrooms in 2014, we have been sorting through over 100,000 photographs on & off for the last 10 years, and are finally offering some of the best ones up for sale individually.

We hope to Bring recognition to his life's work as well as to find homes for some parts of the history of an entire city as documented by the city photographer.

Parts of the collection are being held together by the estate for exhibition purposes in the future. Holding a piece from this collection will be rare. Much of the contents from the estate were taken by the historical society before we were asked to go inside.

The photographs we hold from this estate, include everything you would've expected a city photographer to have been present for; from weddings, to new construction, aerial photographs, sporting events, school events, press photography, police, Jaycees, and a really nice, but VERY LIMITED collection of nude photographs, some possibly from a nudist camp that is still in operation here today. Even more limited, there were a handful of his war era photographs that we were able to save.

The photos that are being offered here, were well preserved, found inside the home and studio, in a cool, dry, cellar type setting.

George did a lot of work for the newspapers so you'll see things pertaining to Clearwater Florida, much of it from the early 1950s.

Being in the same location next to the Clearwater courthouse for over half a century, he was also entrusted with and gifted many photographs that go back to the late 1800s that were left behind and are currently in our collection. Some of those will be offered here as well.

This is quite a project for only two curators, so please follow us, and be patient as we slowly unveil the contents of this massive estate.

And always, if you see something that you like, please make an offer!!
