How do you identify Ansel Adams prints?
1 Answer

To identify Ansel Adams prints, look on the back for a stamp that says "Photograph by Ansel Adams." This marking appears on nearly all Adams prints, and many also display the photographer's signature. If you'd like to learn more about the name and history of the image shown on your print, there are many online catalogues that you can refer to. A certified appraiser or knowledgeable art dealer can also be of assistance. On 1stDibs, shop an assortment of Ansel Adams photography.
