Note du spécialiste

Fred Otnes was commissioned by National Geographic in 1987 to create 11 collages in honor of the 1988 centennial issue. The present lot was published in the January 1988 issue and is captioned "Like the contents of a catch-all drawer in great-grandmother's house, fragments of an era help capture the time when the National Geographic Society was born."
