Ansel Adams (American, 1902-1984). "In Bear Valley, California". Vintage photogravure. 1974. Printed 1974. Signed in the plate. Intended edition of 950 (of which all were printed?). White Bristol paper. Excellent condition. Very scarce. Possibly printed in a run of far less than the 950 stated. The printing was derived from a high-resolution negative produced with Polaroid Type 105 Positive/Negative film. In the early 1970s, Polaroid launched a project to show that this film process could successfully compete with gelatin silver prints as a fine art medium. The company gave cameras plus a generous stock of film to leading photographers of the day. Their output was then published by the Polaroid Corporation. As the company noted, this film “produces a finished positive and a high-resolution negative in just thirty seconds, without a darkroom. The positive print can be viewed immediately to check exposure, lighting, and composition. The negative may be retained for producing multiple impressions or high-magnification enlargements.”. Image size: 13 x 10 1/8 in. (330 x 257 mm). Overall size: 17 1/4 x 13 in. (438 x 330 mm). [24694] {R100}
