Chromecoat coated paper. Very good condition. Very scarce. Possibly printed in a run of far less than the 950 stated. In the early 1970s, Polaroid launched the SX-70 camera. In an effort to show that the 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, “The Polaroid SX-70 Land camera takes color pictures by implementing new concepts of interaction between camera, film, and photographer. The SX-70 film produces prints of brilliance, clarity, intensity, and unusual stability. The saturated colors and lack of grain in the original picture make possible enlargements of unusual quality.”. Overall size: 17 1/4 x 13 in. (438 x 330 mm). Image size: 7 1/4 x 7 1/4 in. (184 x 184 mm). [24684] |400| {R100} rzz~izz
