James Van Der Zee 1886-1983 untitled 1924 photogravure 12 x 8 Inches (image), full margins signed and dated in plate only A curatorial note from the ICP Museum: this image was featured in Your Mirror: Portraits from the ICP Collection (2019) "This studio portrait shows a man dressed in modern attire, but clad in shackles from neck to feet. The man is most likely a magician or escape artist like Harry Houdini or Black Herman, both popular performers when this photograph was taken. But the sight of a black man in chains standing in the splendor of African American photographer James Van Der Zeeâs studio creates an image that is more complicated than a standard promotional photo. VanDerZee was one of the most successful photographers in Harlem, in part because he shared the racial pride of his sitters, and always strove to create elegant, yet idealized portraits. He documented everything and everyone in the neighborhood, from the emerging black middle class to celebrities of the Harlem Renaissance, from community gatherings and weddings to funerals.

[WORLD WAR I]. Photograph of the Harlem Hellfighters, African American troops. New York: Guarantee Photo Studio, operated by noted Harlem photographer James VANDERZEE (1886-1983), ca 1919.
Est: $400 - $600
[WORLD WAR I]. Photograph of the Harlem Hellfighters, African American troops. New York: Guarantee Photo Studio, operated by noted Harlem photographer James VANDERZEE (1886-1983), ca 1919. 9 x 7 in. (including margins) unmounted silver gelatin photograph, likely a period copy (some soiling throughout, adhesive residue to lower margin, light wear to edges and corners). Lower right corner of image embossed "Guarantee Photo Studio 109 West 135th St. N.Y." Verso with additional Guarantee Photo Studio stamps and pencil inscription reading, "Studio of James VanDerZee." Featured in the image are African American soldiers, most likely of the 369th Infantry Regiment, known as the "Harlem Hellfighters." An all-Black regiment, the 369th fought heroically on the front lines in France during World War I and received an enthusiastic welcome from civilians at the victory parade held in 1919 upon their return home. African American photographer James VanDerZee was one of a few photographers who photographed the parade. The image featured here appears to have been taken in a rural setting. Research indicates that this may have been taken in 1918 when the Harlem Hellfighters were training in France. They were documented by the International Film Service at that time, and the original image may have been produced then. A rare, possibly undocumented image. This lot is located in Cincinnati.
