Is anyone interested in owning this portrait of George Eastman? It's a beautiful professionally framed portrait measuring 39"h x 30"w. It hung in the Washington D.C. offices of Kodak, the same office that served the White House, and a few large commercial accounts, one of which I worked for. When they shut down the Kodak office a friend there knew I enjoyed history, snatched up the portrait and gave it to me. It hung in my office for years, but I am retiring, downsizing, and really have no place to put it. I hate to see ol' George head for a dumpster, so if you're interested, it's yours, just pay for shipping. (We'll have to figure out that cost once I know the destination and preferred shipping method).
Please reply to this post. If I get more than one reply, I'll go with first-come/first-served.
Definitely not the dumpster! I would adopt it just to save it, but I'm sure someone would want to have it, if only to cover those holes in the wall. 😁
I will take it. I have another 30" x 40" Kodak display print that it will complement. Thanks.
That's great! The portrait is in Beltsville, Maryland. Looks like you're in the Catskill's, is that right? How would you like to arrange this? Are you comfortable using email to get us off this public forum to discuss shipping?

Michigan. I sent you a PM. Thanks.
Thanks to you all for saving that portrait. When I think of George Eastman I think of Martin and Osa Johnson; heroes of mine while watching their travelogs on TV in the 50s. They sparked my love of travel ventures for life.
