Description
Original 1979 photographic reproductions made from the original negatives of Rollin H. McKay, issued through Northwest Images in the late 1970s. This offering is a complete portfolio of six images, each measuring 16 x 20 inches.
The works feature Native American portraits and Western documentary scenes and were produced using McKay's own Elwood enlarger on archival photographic paper. Most images are from limited editions of 200, with select images issued in editions of 750.
Each photograph is accompanied by its original Certificate of Authenticity, dated and notarized in 1979 and signed by Douglas R. Brown. These are period-authorized photographic reproductions, not modern digital prints and not later restrikes.
All six works are offered unframed, allowing the buyer full flexibility for matting and presentation. A rare opportunity to acquire a cohesive late-1970s Western photographic portfolio with original documentation.
