Edward Curtis (1868-1952) Native American Indian Photogravure "Oyi-Sa Wi" C1905

By Edward Curtis

Located in Incline Village, NV

Native American Indian framed photogravure portrait entitled "Oyi-Sa-Wi" (which translates to "Ice Terrace) photographed by the iconic American ethnologist Edward S. Curtis in 1905. The woman photographed is an indigenous woman from the Santa Clara Pueblo in New Mexico. The sepia tone is typical of Curtis along with the deluxe Japanese Gampi tissue, often referred to as India proof paper. It is rare and very expensive and being translucent, it renders realistic and fine life like characteristics and depth to the original ink. Stamped in finite printing directly into the paper margins, "From Copyright Photograph 1905 by E.J. Curtis" and "Oyi-Sa-Wi (Ice Terrace)- Santa Clara"; the title of the photogravure (See images). The actual photograph was taken in 1905 and could have been published as late as 1926 in Volume 17 of The North American Indian Project. The image is mounted in a 1 1/4" curved coped walnut frame with herringbone perimeter inlay; and a soft complimentary cream toned matte all around; framed and mounted by the high preservation and conservation standards of the (since closed) "Barbara Anderson Gallery and Framing" in Berkeley, California who were in business since the early 1970's.

Native American Indian framed photogravure portrait entitled "POSE-ANYE" (which translates to "DEW MOVING"--"Nambe'"); photographed by the iconic American ethnologist Edward S. Curtis in 1905. The image features a head and shoulders portrait of a Tewa tribe member from the Nambe Oweenge Pueblo in New Mexico. The sepia tone is typical of Curtis along with the deluxe Japanese Gampi tissue, often referred to as India proof paper.

Sweet Peas, 1907

By Lora Webb Nichols

Located in New York, NY

Listing includes framing with UV plexiglas, free shipping and a 14 day return policy. Lora Webb Nichols Sweet Peas, 1907 15 x 12 inch gelatin silver print Image Size: 14 x 8.5 inches Frame size: 22.5 x 17.5 x 2 Edition of 15 Lora Webb Nichols was born in 1883 and grew up in the small mining town of Encampment, Wyoming. At the age of 16 Lora received her first camera and from that moment and for the next few decades she produced work that is both stunning in its singular voice and revealing in the world it opens up for us. At first Nichols photographed her family, friends, and the landscape around Encampment, but when the town experienced a copper mining boom Nichols expanded her scope to become a photographer for hire shooting portraits and industrial photographs. When the boom collapsed, Nichols took the risk of opening her own business in Encampment - The Rocky Mountain Studio - which opened in 1925. The studio ran for ten years, accumulating 24,000 negatives that illustrate the lives and environment of the people living in and around the town while creating a distinctive and surprising body of work. If one was to attempt an analogy – Nichols’ pictures fit somewhere between Lartigue and Lange - joyful and generous while objectively intimate. In particular what seems to distinguish Nichols’ work is the way she sees the world from a female perspective. As Vince Aletti...

By Edward Curtis

Located in Incline Village, NV

Native American Indian framed photogravure portrait entitled "TS!E-KA" (which translates to "DOUGLAS SPRUCE LEAF"); photographed by the iconic American ethnologist Edward S. Curtis in 1905. The image depicts a prominent leader from the Ohkay Owingeh (San Juan Pueblo) tribe in New Mexico. "Tse-Kaq" pictured here is a "Cacique" which is a traditional spiritual chief within the Southwest Pueblo Native American community (see image; noted and printed in the bottom margin). The sepia tone is typical of Curtis along with the deluxe Japanese Gampi tissue, often referred to as India proof paper. It is rare and very expensive and being translucent, it renders realistic and fine life like characteristics and depth to the original ink. Stamped in finite printing directly into the paper margins, "From Copyright Photograph 1905 by E.J. Curtis" and "TS!E-KA" ("DOUGLAS SPRUCE LEAF"); the title of the photogravure.

Young Girl Asleep in the Window - Poetry Reading 1904 - Photogravure Enchanting image of a young girl dozing off after a morning of poetry reading, the diamond of the photographic arts is the photogravure by Miss Emma Justine Farnsworth (American, 1860-1952). A rich and complex photographic image using the photogravure printing process. soft hues and rich blacks with eye catching detail. Miss Farnswaorth signed her work J.G. Farnsworth which is for middle name Justine and her mothers maiden name Sara Visscher Gourlay (Farnsworth) Signed by impression lower right "J. G. Farnsworth" (for Justine Gourlay Farnsworth) "Copyright 1904" lower left “Of all photoengraving methods there is none which produces such rich and satisfying results as photogravure. The reason for this is to be found in the method of printing. It is an intaglio process and, therefore, the quantity of ink which is transferred to the paper can be considerable, and it shares with mezzotint among hand engraving processes the resulting richness of tones.” Captain Herbert Mills Cartwirght, 1930 The photogravure process had its beginnings in the mid-19th century when Fox Talbot devised a method of producing intaglio (etching) plates by etching through a bichromated gelatin film. In 1879 Karl Klic introduced the first efficient and reliable method of producing photogravures. Emma Justine Farnsworth was born on October 16, 1860, in Albany, New York, where she lived her full ninety-one-year life. Her father was a successful lumber merchant and Emma never married. Farnsworth, who had modest art training, received a camera outfit as a gift one Christmas and began to use it the following summer. The earliest known record of her exhibiting photographs is the second Joint Exhibition of 1888, where three of her pictures were seen. Over the next five years, she also was successful in two newspaper competitions. Her work consisted primarily of genre scenes and figure studies. Early on, Farnsworth took to illustrating books with her sentimental photographs. In 1892, In Arcady appeared, featuring six tipped-in photogravures printed on tissue, picturing classically draped women in the open air, with birds, harps, and children. This thin, but large-scale volume includes verse by the ancient Greek poet Anacreon and others, selected by Farnsworth. Two other titles with images by her were published—both children’s books, also using tissue...

Camps on Lake Pontchartrain (very rare!)

Located in New Orleans, LA

If you know photography, you'll know E. J. Bellocq is most famous for his photos of the prostitutes of Storyville in New Orleans, which (as Wikipedia mentions) have been "the inspiration for novels, poems and films." His character actually appears in the film "Pretty Baby," played by Keith Carradine. His photos first exploded into recognition when they were shown at the Museum of Modern Art in New York. At any rate, this print is exceedingly rare - the only one I personally have seen in all my time at auctions and galleries in New Orleans- of the north shore of Lake Pontchartrain in 1908. Bellocq's prostitute photos are not to everyone's taste, but this exquisite photo will charm anyone who is a fan of New Orleans, or lives on the North Shore (Mandeville, Covington), or is just into rare photography...

By Wilhelm Von Gloeden

Located in Roma, IT

Von Gloeden n°139 is an original photographic print on textured paper, printed in 1909 by Wilhelm von Gloeden On the lower left edge of front: " V. Gloeden Taormina 10/11 09", handwritten in brown ink. On the back: number of catalog 139 and B and D (?) letters handwritten in blue pencil with very fluid calligraphy. Always on the back printing notes and number of inventory handwritten in grey pencil with angular calligraphy: " (?) marrone" and "R-C 235 F C chassis 5 at av". The print is realized with a characteristic brown-tone croming bath and printed in the larger format from artist's catalogue. Dim: cm 38,5 x 28,5 Slightly dull tones, good conditions. Framed with modern frame 30 x 40 cm. Wilhelm Iwan Friederich August Freiherr von Gloeden (September 16, 1856 – February 16, 1931) was a German photographer who worked mainly in Italy. His innovations include the use of photographic filters and special body makeup. In the second half of the nineteenth century, Italy became the country of choice for homosexuals in northern Europe, most likely because, at the time, this country was much more liberal than other European countries. In particular, Taormina attracted numerous literaries, artists and prominent men of the high society. The Arcadian photographs of Baron Wilhelm...
