Up for sale is a rare, authentic vintage historical photograph taken by celebrated Tulsa commercial photographer Alvin C. Krupnick (stamped on the front right: \"Photo by Alvin C. Krupnick\"). The photo features a prominent crisp white inscription in the lower-left corner:
\"Buffet Luncheon In Honor of Visiting Governors At Home of Henry Greis, Tulsa, Oklahoma - Sept. 27, 1938.\"**Historical Context:**
Alvin C. Krupnick (1894–1952) was one of early Tulsa\'s most important photojournalists, highly revered for documenting the city\'s meteoric oil boom and political landscape. This piece captures a high-society political gathering hosted by influential oil baron Henry J. Greis at his Tulsa estate, showing visiting governors and local tycoons in formal attire. **Condition & Framing:**
The photograph is professionally framed under glass. The back retains its original vintage foil mid-century label from the \"City Art Store\" located at 213 S. Boulder in Tulsa, OK (showing the historic LUther telephone exchange code, dating the frame job to the 1950s/1960s). The tight professional seal has beautifully preserved the print over the decades. - Photo Subject: Politics, Oklahoma History, Oil Tycoons
