This
is an authentic (NOT a modern reprint) vintage 1972 photogravure print on fine art paper made directly from the original
circa early 1900's photogravure plate/negative by the renowned photographer of the
Native American Indian, Edward S. Curtis. The photogravure plate is professionally dry mounted on 11x14 archival museum mat board and ready for a standard size frame. These iconic Native American images have been faithfully crafted in fine sheet fed photogravure (also known as Héliogravure) by The Meriden Gravure Company and matched
for tonality and color - their "look" is that of the original pre-1920 gravures.
Soft, muted and atmospheric, these images evoke the historic feel of a world and way of life long since gone. The source originals from which these vintage 1972 prints were made came from the Pierpont Morgan Library's Curtis collection and the Boston Public Library's set of original Curtis photogravures from his landmark project "The North American Indian". Finephoto carries an extensive selection of vintage 1972 Edward S. Curtis prints, in both fine lithography and photogravure - all are matched to the original images in their look. Condition of this professionally mounted photogravure is excellent and it will frame up beautifully for display.
This vintage 1972
photogravure is guaranteed to be authentic and comes with a hand signed
CERTIFICATE OF AUTHENTICITY (COA) with unique individual registered serial number from the Finephoto Archive & Database. Under
magnification this plate shows a tight "honeycomb" cell structure, uniform
pressing of ink and a wide range of tone - all indicative of a high
quality sheet fed gravure plate. The watermark word "Finephoto" does not appear on the actual print.
READY FOR FRAMING & DISPLAY! - The expensive engraved copper plate photogravure process and the resulting fine
prints make vintage photogravures highly collectible and excellent
vintage prints for framing. Your
vintage print will arrive ready to be placed directly into a standard
size frame.
