About the Item

Dried Clematis Blossom, black and white, still life photograph, signed, numbered. James Pitts, based in Santa Fe New Mexico, delicate still lifes are crafted as exquisite hand-coated platinum palladium prints from large-format negatives. The Platinum print image is made from finely particulate grains of platinum metal by a process invented by William Willis in the late 19th century. A photographer could purchase the ready-made platinum paper for use at that time. Today the modern platinum printer hand-coats the emulsion onto a good rag stock paper and exposes it to ultraviolet light (the sun or a UV exposure unit). The resulting print is a warm black hue and is virtually impervious to fading and bleaching from age or atmospheric pollutants.
