Description

This rare and captivating antique panoramic photograph captures the "Peace Class" reunion held in Asheville, North Carolina, in June 1919. A masterful example of early 20th-century "yard-long" photography by Geo. D. Sherrill, this image serves as a poignant historical record of the era following World War I. The large-scale group portrait depicts dozens of men in period-correct suits, bowties, and military-influenced uniforms, each detail rendered with impressive clarity for the time. The sweeping horizontal format and original wooden frame provide a commanding presence, making it a sophisticated addition to a curated home library, executive office, or an eclectic gallery wall. Measuring 39.5” W × 1” D × 9.25” H, this framed artifact offers a window into the storied past of the American South. The piece remains in great vintage condition, featuring a rich sepia tone and authentic edge wear that underscores its century-long history. Some silvering and light fading to the paper are present, which serve as a beautiful natural patina that adds to its soulful, antique character. This singular work of Americana is a must-have for historians and collectors of fine vintage photography alike. We invite you to add this piece of North Carolina history to your collection today.
