Photography & Ephemera

ADAMS, Ansel, photographer (American, 1902–1984). Moonrise, Hernandez, New Mexico, 1944. Boston: New York Graphic Society, 1981. Original lithographic photograph printed on heavy stock, dry mounted and embossed onto a special handmade paper titled “Ansel Adams Images 1923–1974”. SIGNED BY ADAMS, numbered 232/350. Framed with museum quality non–glare glass, overall 36 x 26”. Provenance: with original bill of sale from the publisher, Little Brown and Company, sold to Robin L. Jacobson on 27 September 1982; original limitation tag affixed to frame verso. This deluxe lithographic poster was issued as a more affordable product and was intended to be almost indistinguishable from an original photograph which Ansel Adams then approved, signed and numbered each print. A RARE AND DESIRABLE POSTER.
