Besides  many  medals  and  honors  awarded  him  at  expositions, 
Mr.  Gutekunst  was  the  recipient  of  various  testimonials  in  the  way 
of  gifts  from  rulers  of  nations  and  other  eminent  personages.  Be- 
cause of  his  famous  panoramic  picture  of  the  Centennial  Exposition, 
the  Mikado  of  Japan  sent  him  a  pair  of  gold-lined  bronze  vases, 
King  Victor  Emmanuel'  of  Italy  a  gold  medal  and  Emperor  Francis 
Joseph  of  Austria  a  decoration. 
He  also  had  in  his  collection  autograph  letters  from  many  dis- 
tinguished- men,  who  wrote  to  congratulate  him  on  his  success  in 
making  their  portraits  One  of  his  letters  shows  that  the  name  of 
Gutekunst  had  been  carried  even  into  the  semi-civilized  wilds  of 
Africa.  It  was  from  the  son  of  a  king  of  the  Zulu  tribe.  When 
Mr.  Gutekunst  read  that  a  full-blooded  African  prince  had  carried 
off  the  George  William  Curtis  first  prize  for  oratory  at  Columbia 
University,  New  York,  the  photographer  sent  his  own  portrait  of 
Mr.  Curtis  to  the  prince,  who  wrote  to  Mr.  Gutekunst :  "  I  can  see 
clearly  that  you  wish  to  teach  me  a  great  lesson.  You  wish  me  to 
carry  back  to  my  bush  home  the  memory  and  life  of  this  great 
American,  in  order  that  his  bold  stand  for  truth  and  for  the 
great  principles  of  living,  and  his  wonderful  wisdom,  which  is  so 
well  reflected  in  his  inspiring  countenance,  may  quicken  our  dark 
lives  and  give  us  manners,  wisdom  and  power." 
A  eulogistic  letter  from  the  late  Dr.  Horace  Howard  Furness, 
the  great  Shakespearean  scholar,  was  among  Mr.  Gutekunst's  most 
valued  possessions. 
General  Sherman  wrote  that  with  the  Gutekunst  photograph  of 
General  Grant  before  him  it  was  next  best  to  again  seeing  him  in 
the  flesh.  Oliver  Wendell  Holmes  wrote  that  he  considered  the 
portrait  of  Professor  Tyndall  as  lifelike  as  his  own.    Grace  Green-
