BUSCH, August Anheuser, Jr. (American, 1899-1989). Portrait photograph. New York: Master Studio’s, [ca. 1910s]. Silver gelatin portrait on thick paper of “Gussie” Busch, signed by the studio. Approximately 16 ½ x 11 ½” including border. Toned, some edgewear and soiling to border. With the original studio mount (worn, chipped, soiled), and folding portfolio (worn and soiled). Still, a very good portrait of a young “Gussie,” years before he made Anheuser-Busch the largest brewer in the world, and before he owned the St. Louis Cardinals. Photographs of Busch when he was a young man are relatively rare.
