Artist
An excellent period print featuring black and white drawing "Three Navajos" by American artist Mahonri Young. Mahonri Mackintosh Young (August 9, 1877 – November 2, 1957) was an American social-realist sculptor and artist.
The
Original of this artist's work now sell for $1,000s. Because
the specially authorized 1939 reproduction prints (such as the one offered here) are such a
remarkable rendition of the original art, they were marked "REPRO"
in tiny, light print at the bottom margin to prevent fraud. Matted and/or framed, this
print does look very much like an original...it is that nice. The bottom signature (which was signed in plate) looks so real you would swear it was signed in pencil.
Note: Signed "in plate" means the artist signed the original which was then transferred to the plate for printing.
Approx. Size: 11" x 8"
Condition: Slight aging with some handling wear at one or more corners.

| The Nature of Prints & Engravings: It was not until the 20th century that prints were commonly produced for the print itself. Prior to this, virtually all prints (and engravings) were produced as illustrations to be included in a manuscript, book, newspaper, or pamphlet. Therefore, a vast majority of original prints have been over the years removed from these original sources. Prints are produced using many different techniques: relief printing (woodcut & wood engraving), intaglio printing (steel & copper plate engraving, drypoint, aquatint, etc), and planographic printing (lithography, serigraphy, inkjet, laser, etc.). While the commercial value of a print depends on such factors as age, rarity, and condition, the real value of a print is its tie to its history and/or its esthetic beauty. |
