Personally, I wouldn't place the worth that high as Ansel was a master of manipulation in the darkroom & these are just the negatives which ,of course, have no manipulation applied. They are just like any other large format photographers negatives,
They also were declared fakes. The signatures didn't add up.
Amazing how things can spread so quickly online. Man imagine that $200 million!

Almost like that chinese vase found in an attic of detroit, that went for 86 million at auction.
When the last candle has been blown out
and the last glass of champagne has been drunk

I thought it was in detroit, guess I was wrong. Was on the detroit news though.
