FINE PHOTO GALLERIES is pleased to offer an authentic, old (NOT a modern reprint) vintage 1936
photogravure by the renowned German photographer Dr. Paul Wolff. Initially trained as a medical doctor, Paul Wolff devoted his life to photography, became a master in several genres and created brilliant imagery throughout his storied career. He became known in photography art circles as a "moderate modernist". This image was made during the 1936 Olympic Games in Berlin, Germany to which Wolff, along with the infamous Leni Riefenstahl, were given VIP access and prime photographic vantage points by the Olympic Committee and the German government. Both Wolff and Riefenstahl gained widespread international fame as a result of their Olympic imagery and set new standards in elevating the art of professional sports photography. In later years the controversial Riefenstahl would be professionally "blackballed" as a result of her associations with Adolf Hitler and the Third Reich. Such fate did not befall Dr. Paul Wolff who continued after World War II with his prolific photographic career. The spectacular and lavishly staged 1936 Olympic Games were hosted by what was then Nazi Germany under the leadership of Adolf Hitler. Historic
in several regards, this vintage gravure print is from a rare bound
photogravure printing of Paul Wolff's Olympic images published by Karl Specht
Verlag in Germany in 1936.
This vintage photogravure is guaranteed to be authentic and comes with a hand signed CERTIFICATE OF AUTHENTICITY (COA) from Finephoto. 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 print. The watermark word "Finephoto" does not appear on the actual print.
