Edward Weston description of printing in 1953-54
In 1945 Weston began to experience the first symptoms of Parkinson's disease, which slowly progressed until by 1948, he took his last photograph. By the second half of 1952, Weston decided he should select a master set of his best work. Out of his approximately 3000 negatives, he would pick 1000 and have Brett Weston print five sets that he hoped would be purchased by institutions. "Perfectionists will howl that no one person could make 1000 photographs, worth saving, in a lifetime- and I might agree! But I do think 999 of them are of interest and quality worth saving, and who is to take out that one extra."
An anonymous donation of $6000 got the project started, and by January 1953, Brett was busy working in the darkroom making 5 or 6 prints each from about six negatives a week. According to Brett and Cole Weston, although Edward's health was in decline, he carefully supervised each print's quality. In 1954, sample books were assembled, but it is not known how many photographs were actually sold. In the end, Brett printed 832 negatives with only one complete set acquired by Dick McGraw and donated to the University of California at Santa Cruz.
Several hundred unspotted and unmounted Project Prints were part of the Weston estate sold to the Center of Creative Photography, Arizona, in 1981. It is unclear how many of each negative was printed. The labels on the Project Prints that were mounted and sold in the 1950s state that they are from editions of six. The reproduction labels made for the prints deaccessioned by the CCP state an edition of 10 per negative.
Robert B. Egelston (1930-2016) graduated from U.S. Military Academy at West Point in 1954 and went on to graduate the first of his class at the Warton School, University of Pennsylvania. The Capital Group, a Los Angeles based investment management firm, was Egelston's first and only employer. He started at the bottom, but by the time he retired some 40 years later, he was chairman of the board of an organization managing $1.3 trillion. He began displaying his personal art collection on the walls of the Capital Group's offices. This led to his efforts to found and fund the Capital Group Foundation, which supported the arts and community ventures aside from collecting.
In 1989, the Capitol Group Foundation acquired around 500 Edward Weston Project Prints, of which 110 were transferred to Egleston's personal collection and are offered here. The Foundation's remaining Project Prints and more than 600 other photographs by Ansel Adams, Edward Curtis, John Gutman, Gordon Parks, and others were donated in 2019 to the Cantor Arts Center at Stanford University.

Edward Weston
Edward Weston was an American photographer and cofounder of Group f/64. Most of his work was done using an 8-by-10-inch view camera.
In 1902, Weston received his first camera for his 16th birthday, a Kodak Bull's-Eye #2, and began taking photographs in parks in Chicago and at his aunt's farm. The young Weston met with quick success, and his photographs were already being exhibited at the Chicago Art Institute merely a year later, in 1903. Weston worked mainly with nudes, still life — his shells and vegetable studies were especially important — and landscape subjects. After a few exhibitions of his works in New York, he went on to found Group f/64 in 1932 with fellow photographers Ansel Adams, Willard van Dyke and others. Weston became the first photographer ever to be selected for the Guggenheim Fellowship in 1937.
Stricken with Parkinson's disease, Weston made his last photographs at Point Lobos, California, in 1948. A 50th-anniversary portfolio of his work, printed by his son Brett, was published in 1952. Edward Weston died in his house on Wildcat Hill in Carmel, California, on January 1, 1958.

- Vintage Silver Gelatin Signed Photograph Samuel Gottscho Garden Flowers Photo NYBy Samuel GottschoLocated in Surfside, FLVintage hand signed and stamp signed with the photographers stamp and numbered photo of Moccasin Flower. Samuel Herman Gottscho (February 8, 1875 - January 28, 1971) was an American architectural, landscape, and nature photographer. Samuel Gottscho was born in Brooklyn in New York City. He acquired his first camera in 1896 and took his first photograph at Coney Island. From 1896 to 1920 he photographed part-time, specializing in houses and gardens, as he particularly enjoyed nature, rural life, and landscapes. After attending several architectural photograph exhibitions, Gottscho decided to perfect and improve his own work and sought out several architects and landscape architects. After twenty-three years as a traveling lace and fabric salesman, at an age when most people would have given up their youthful dreams, Gottscho became a professional commercial photographer at the age of 50. His son-in-law William Schleisner joined Gottscho in his business in 1935. During this time his photographs appeared in and on the covers of American Architect and Architecture, Architectural Record. His portraits and architectural photography regularly appeared in articles in the New York Times. His photographs of private homes in the New York and Connecticut suburbs often appeared in home decoration magazines. From the early 1940s to the late 1960s, he was a regular contributor to the Times of illustrated articles on wildflowers. the meticulous, adoring pictures of New York City architecture and interiors that he took at his creative peak in the late 1920's and early 30's are finding a new audience, placing him more firmly in the ranks of the great architectural photographers of his day, like Ezra Stoller, Julius Shulman and Ken and Bill Hedrich. the Museum of the City of New York, which has one of the largest archives of Gottscho's work, showed about 150 of his best city scenes in an exhibition called "The Mythic City: Photographs of New York...Category
