'В.ДАНИЛОВИЂ',was given for his outstanding photography service at the 'Trieste Exhibition Fair',in Italy that year. However,according to'Fotomuzej.com',a well-respected, Serbian online photography site, that carefully accumulates, identifies, and then catalogues... any historical19th Century photos,into its archives. They shared a unique picture with me, titled a"Girl In a White Dress", which was significant, because not only was its font, style, and overall appearance, almost identical to this 'Tesla' photo, but they detailed that the picture of this young girl, was taken between the years of"1890-1895"(as pictured above).-Her photo has the exact, Front-and-Back Template and Stamp by the photographer B. , as this 'Tesla' picture does here. (The University of Belgrade, then the Imperial Hotel where Tesla stayed (June 1st-3rd, 1892), and where'Vasa Danilović's'photography studio was located then, are only a 'city block' apart... or approx. 339 ft.)

Info related to my Tesla research trip, to Belgrade, Serbia in 2022: I did travel, from Denver, Colorado... over to Belgrade, Serbia in May, 2022, and1. the rep from TheNikola Tesla museum, did state that the photo was "of a young Nikola Tesla". And during my visit there, (as pictured above), I gifted them with an enlarged, framed picture of my photo for their collection. Next,2. I also met with the curator of the Belgrade Museum of Applied Art, who oversaw their 'Vasa Danilović' collection,and she said that they too, believed my "Excellent and well-preserved" picture, was an original photo of a young Nikola Tesla, and that if any Serbian photographer would have taken his picture during his Belgrade visit in June 1892, it would've "most likely been King Aleksandar Obrenovic's court photographer: Mr.Vasa Danilović".

When and Where I Acquired The Photo:

I purchased this photo in '2016, from an antiques dealer from...the Chicago,Illinois, area, and the seller said, that when they originally got the picture, they were informed that... "It was one of the Tesla boys... either Nikola, or his older brother 'Dane' in the photo". I knew right away that it not only was definitely 'Nikola', but that it could not be his brother, 'Dane' I also learned from my new Serbian friends, that Chicago is well-known to be Belgrade and Serbia's "sister city"; I had no idea about this, until I visited. A copy of this receipt from my original purchase (on Dec. 25th, 2016) will also be included, and given to the Buyer upon final sale.

-Photo Measures: 4 1/16" x 3", and is made on a thick card-stock-like paper,with 'Gilded (Gold) Edges.

The Picture, also comes with: Two Full P.D.F., Forensic Declaration Reports, both from Nationally Recognized Forensic Experts... offering... 100% Authentication.

The Facial Recognition Report, was done by 'Mr. Kent Gibson', one of America's Best, (and theF.B.I.'s designated) most sought after forensic experts there is in this field. And the physical analysis conducted, regarding the photo's "period paper and clothing"was done by 'Mr. Will Dunniway', also one of the Nation's very Best Forensic Experts, in their field. The facial recognition authentication process,"... required a (final and) 'Total Score of 60%, to be deemed a Match",(one in which can then be used as official, positive evidence used, in identification-related cases in a U.S. court of law." So although 60% is theirbaseline Score require in order to be formally accepted and upheld, as an Authentic Match...this 'TESLA' Photo, was given aScore of"84%", which in their words was a"HIGH"Score.

'Mr. Dunniway', also mentions in his official report, that 'Mr. Tesla', is even wearing the: "Same Exact Jacket"... in this Photo... as he is in his other, more familiar, published image provided above for comparison. There is a light stain on the photo's Front, upper right side, but I was told by our best photography company here in Boulder, Colorado, that "this perhaps, may very well have taken place during the photo's original printing process in ca. '1890's". Other than that, the picture is virtually flawless, there are No Bends, Creases or Folds on either side... Front or Back. The only flaw at all, is a very small, light 1/16" scratch -on the lower right black border on the front. This portrait photo is one of the most unique Tesla artifacts discovered since '1943 -over 80 years ago. And you could not only own it, (+ a personal affect from Tesla's life), but you would also help me achieve a Lifelong Dream (and promise), to Help Super-charge and re-write, the very Future Education, of this forgotten Hero: Mr. Nikola Tesla: a Genius, a Man, and a Trailblazing Serbian-American... whose many inventions and contributions, helped pave way for the world to gain entrance... into the New, industrial age -of the 20th century.
