About the Item

Bottle With Sharon's Seeds, black and white, still life photograph, signed, ltd 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 under ultraviolet light (the sun or a UV exposure unit). The resulting print is a warm black hue and virtually impervious to fading and bleaching from age or atmospheric pollutants.
