  • Description: Nice lot of two photographs of Fort Ross and a countryside fence by William Edward Dassonville. Both pieces have estate stamps and are numbered 4006 and 4101. Proceeds from the sale of this lot will benefit the Shriners Hospital for Children.
    William Edward Dassonville (1879-1957) was a California photographer primarily known for his landscapes. He was an associate of Ansel Adams and worked with William Keith, George Stirling, Maynard Dixon, and John Miur. Born in Sacramento, CA, he acted as secretary of the California Camera Club and contributed to Camera Craft. He also invented a velvety surfaced printing paper that he later manufactured commercially (REF: Getty). His chemistry was heralded by Ansel Adams and Imogen Cunningham, and he exhibited alongside Alfred Stieglitz, Clarence White, and Gertrude Kasebier (REF: icp org). Some of the prints in this estate have annotations indicating they are platinum or silver prints; however, this print is not annotated.
