Catalogue Essay
Made early in Stieglitz’s career, November Days was an image that retained importance for the photographer throughout his life. He included it in several significant exhibitions of his work in the late 19th century, including his first solo show at the New York Camera Club in 1899. November Days, like The Terminal of Lot 15, is one of the early images Stieglitz reincorporated into his exhibition repertoire beginning in the 1920s, and the print offered here dates from that time. Rendered as a gelatin silver print, this photograph seems consonant with the landscapes, tree studies, and Equivalents Stieglitz made at Lake George in his later years. This similarity is enhanced by the modern presentation—flush-mounted, and mounted again to larger board—that Stieglitz favored at the time for his exhibition prints. He hung November Days in his 1935 solo exhibition at An American Place, alongside similarly re-evaluated early images and newer work.
