This group of 22 vintage photographs was obtained from a St. Louis household one of whom is the child of the "Geraldine" who many of the pictures are inscribed to. It is possible Geraldine frequented the Club Riviera in St. Louis where many of these artists performed..

Most of the photos show some yellowing from age (which only adds to their charm), and several, noted in the item descriptions, have minor stains and/or pinholes.

They will be included in Auction #45 which will be posted on BLUES WORLD in early August. Auction #45 will close September15th, 2010 at 10:00 PM St. Louis Time.

Please e-mail if you have any questions.
