EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the legendary auctioneer, John W. Mitchell, in action during a country auction in either Greenwich or Weston, Connecticut in 1937. Taken by renowned photographer Jessie Tarbox Beals, this gelatin silver print showcases Mitchell at the height of his career. In the image, Mitchell can be seen confidently swinging his gavel as he commands the attention of eager bidders. The intensity on his face reflects his passion for the art of auctioneering and his ability to captivate an audience with every word spoken. A coffee urn sits prominently on a table in front of him, symbolizing both hospitality and endurance during these lively events. The photo not only highlights Mitchell's charismatic presence but also provides a glimpse into the world of auctions during that era. It offers viewers a unique perspective into an important aspect of American culture and commerce. Preserved within the collection of the New-York Historical Society, this remarkable snapshot serves as a testament to Beals' skillful eye for capturing significant moments in history through her lens. With its timeless appeal and historical significance, this photograph continues to inspire admiration for both Mitchell's talent as an auctioneer and Beals' contribution to photography as an art form.
