FINE PHOTO GALLERIES is pleased to offer an authentic, old (NOT a modern reprint) vintage 1936 photogravure by the renowned German photographer Dr. Paul Wolff. Initially trained as a medical doctor, Paul Wolff devoted his life to photography, became a master in several genres and created brilliant imagery throughout his storied career. He became known in photography art circles as a “moderate modernist”. This image was made during the 1936 Olympic Games in Berlin, Germany to which Wolff, along with the infamous Leni Riefenstahl, were given VIP access and prime photographic vantage points by the Olympic Committee and the German government. Both Wolff and Riefenstahl gained widespread international fame as a result of their Olympic imagery and set new standards in elevating the art of professional sports photography. In later years the controversial Riefenstahl would be professionally “blackballed” as a result of her associations with Adolf Hitler and the Third Reich. Such fate did not befall Dr. Paul Wolff who continued after World War II with his prolific photographic career. The spectacular and lavishly staged 1936 Olympic Games were hosted by what was then Nazi Germany under the leadership of Adolf Hitler. Historic in several regards, this vintage gravure print is from a rare bound photogravure printing of Paul Wolff’s Olympic images published by Karl Specht Verlag in Germany in 1936. This vintage photogravure is guaranteed to be authentic and comes with a hand signed CERTIFICATE OF AUTHENTICITY (COA) from Finephoto. Under magnification this plate shows a tight “honeycomb” cell structure, uniform pressing of ink and a wide range of tone – all indicative of a high quality sheet fed gravure print. The watermark word “Finephoto” does not appear on the actual print. READY FOR FRAMING & DISPLAY! – The expensive engraved copper plate photogravure process and the resulting fine prints make vintage photogravures highly collectible and excellent vintage prints for framing. Your vintage print will arrive ready to be placed directly into a standard size frame.

ABOUT PHOTOGRAVURE: Photogravure is an intaglio print making process utilizing a carefully etched copper plate made from the original negative/image. Prints are made by pressing suitable paper heavily down upon the inked copper plate which has been intricately etched to varying depths corresponding with the actual tonality of the original negative, This precisely etched plate combined with a fine “honeycomb” screen controls the amount of ink to be transfered to the paper at any given point in direct proportion to the variation of tone in the original image. The result is a true continuous tone print which combines many qualities of a traditional silver based photograph with a tactile feel similar to an etching, engraving or lithograph. Rich in tonal detail, the photogravure process produces delicately rendered shades for a look which is unique in the world of photographic print making. In the early to mid 1900’s photogravure was selected (when budgets allowed) for special high quality publishing and portfolio projects, but due to it’s significant expense and labor, the process is rarely seen today. From Man Ray and Ruth Bernhard to Brett Weston and Ansel Adams, many of the world’s most renown photographic masters have published their images in the rich photogravure process. ***WARNING: The above listing description is COPYRIGHT protected material under United States & International Copyright & Intellectual Property laws.

This is an authentic (NOT a modern reprint), vintage 1929 photogravure by the renown photographer, teacher and artist Professor Karl Blossfeldt. Catapulted to international fame some 80 years ago by his amazing isolated close up photographs of strange botanical forms, Blossfeldt was an early pioneer in the transformation of photography from a medium of documentation to that of an art form. He devoted his entire 30 year career to the close up photographing of plant sections creating engaging images which crossed into the abstract art world. Blossfeldt designed and made his own camera which allowed him to magnify his plant specimens up to 30 times their actual size. Today he is considered an important and influential figure in photographic history and his work is held in numerous collections and museums throughout the world. IMPORTANT NOTE: These may be the most difficult prints we have ever tried to make scans of – a testament to the fine gravure printing of these images as they possess the best qualities for which gravure is known – subtle shading and a wide range of delicate tone. This delicate and subtle toning/shading (particularly the background) in many cases cannot be accurately picked up by the scanner. There is a light shaded/tinted background behind the botanical subject in many of these plates which the scanner cannot pick up – it therefor appears as a white background in these web scans when in fact there is a soft light teal color field behind the botanical subject as a backdrop.This photogravure is guaranteed to be authentic and comes with a hand signed CERTIFICATE OF AUTHENTICITY (COA) with unique individual registered serial number from the Finephoto Vintage Archive & Database. Under magnification this plate shows a tight “honeycomb” cell structure, uniform pressing of ink and a wide range of tone – all indicative of a quality sheet fed gravure print. The watermark word “Finephoto” does not appear on the actual print.READY FOR FRAMING & DISPLAY! – Your vintage print will arrive ready to be placed directly into a standard size frame.
