INFORMATION ON THE GEORGE A. ABEEL PHOTO COLLECTION: 

This collection was acquired by Jonah's Online Sales in August of 2023 from an auction in Skaneateles NY.  Information from this collection is either noted in the photo albums or directly received from the auction from which it was acquired. The collection contains more than 1600 original photographs taken by photographer "George A. Abeel" - In the manner of Ansel Adams - Mostly during trips to Colorado, the "Grand Trunk" in Canada and South to Florida as well as around Central New York State and the Adirondack Mountains - The photographs were taken during the 1920s - The Trips were taken by Train, Automobile and Steamship - Mr. Abeel was a EXCELLENT photographer with the proper equipment to capture the broad vistas and intimate details of his trips (he used Ziess, Kodak Graflex and telephoto lenses to capture his shots) - There are images of Automobiles, Native American Totem Poles, Children, Women, Men, Animals (including Bears, Goats, Marmots, Squirrels, Chipmunks, Deer, Alligators, etc.) and Historic Sites - Many images are identified - They remain in overall very nice condition. There are some panoramic scenes pasted together to form one continuous image. There is very little information found about George A, Abeel, however he is identified in some of the photographs as being in the "Sousa Band" and there is reference to Cornell. To this date, I have sold thousands of images on eBay from many collections, however I have never seen the quality and detail of photos from this era quite like this and taking a photo of a photo does not do it justice, it is much better in person. I struggle with breaking up one man's work such as this, however I believe these photos will bring joy to many rather than just one.
