A photo montage of Capablanca v Carus Colliver. This was presumably put together by Colliver around 1922 or slightly later. Colliver drew with Capablanca in a simultaneous display in 1919.
The photo is mounted on thick card, the margins are yellowed, the photo is in good condition. Total size is 34 x 26cm.
There is further information about this and Colliver himself on the following website:
https://lostontime.blogspot.com/2017/11/streatham-strolls-west-home-again.html
This is an extract from the website:
As pointed out in Winter's Chess Notes 3757 back in 2005 when discussing the montage, Capa wasn't to become World Champion until 1921, and his image above "looks like a 1922 shot" (albeit in reverse). It is not clear whether Colliver's own portrait photo is contemporaneous with the simul itself, or made at some other time (he would have been 57 in 1919). As we indicated above, it is unlikely that Colliver was a SCCA V-P in 1919 (the year of the simul); so it is probable that the montage as a whole was devised later - 1922 or sometime thereafter.
If successful I will email with the best shipping options.
