This is an authentic (NOT a computer scanned reprint), genuine 1970 photogravure print (also known as héliogravure) by the American photographer E.J. Bellocq. The master print for this photogravure was created from the original glass plate negative Bellocq made in circa 1912 and is part of a historically significant collection of 89 negatives recovered after his death. The image itself was made with a glass plate view camera and the subjects are New Orleans, Louisiana prostitutes who worked in the then legal red light district known as "Storyville". This quality sheet fed gravure print was printed in 1970 as part of a special publishing project funded by the Museum Of Modern Art in New York City. The photogravures coincided with MOMA's 1970 public exhibition of photo-chemical prints made directly from Bellocq's original glass negatives. Upon public exhibition these photographs were immediately acclaimed for their unique poignancy and beauty. This vintage photography print is guaranteed to be authentic and comes with a hand signed Gallery Certified CERTIFICATE OF AUTHENTICITY (COA) with unique individual registered serial number from the Fine Photo Galleries Archive & Database.
