FINE PHOTO GALLERIES is pleased to offer an authentic vintage (NOT a modern reprint) 11949 glossy Kromekote Photo Engraving by the legendary American photographer Ansel Adams. Throughout his storied career Ansel Adams traveled and photographed extensively in America’s National Parks which provided the sites and subjects for some of his most celebrated photographs. From the Great Smokey Mountains of the East to the rugged landscapes of the West, Adams produced a body of work that helped establish him as one of the most important figures in the the history of photography Outstanding print quality and extraordinary detail make this vintage “Kromekote” print look very close to Adams original glossy silver gelatin prints – certainly the closest we’ve ever seen in a photo-mechanical print – only under magnification does the distinctive and high quality photo-mechanical process become evident. The plate is printed on high gloss Kromekote paper – an expensive and exclusive print surface in 1949 and typically reserved for projects calling for the very highest in print quality and detail. This special paper combined with a high quality printing technique resulted in prints which are very close in look and feel to glossy silver gelatin photographs. This print has gravure like characteristics with some tonal variation of ink (accounting in part for the wide range of tonality in the print) and was printed with extremely high quality offset, the likes of which are rarely seen in offset printing. Our scans simply cannot do justice to the detail and beauty of the actual print. High quality Kromekote prints are difficult to scan accurately – scanners have trouble with the ultra fine screen pattern and glossy surface, therefor diagonal or horizontal “band lines” will appear occasionally within the scans – these digital “noise lines” are not in the actual print itself. Few American photographers have been as admired and honored as Ansel Adams. For more than fifty years his magnificent photographs captured the public imagination and helped establish photography as an art form. Some of his best known and most classic images were created of and in the National Parks of the U.S.A. High quality Kromekote prints are difficult to scan accurately – scanners have trouble with the ultra fine screen pattern and glossy surface, therefor diagonal or horizontal “band lines” will appear occasionally within the scans – these digital “noise lines” are not in the actual print itself.
