Description
Yousuf Karsh (Armenian/Canadian, 1908-2002). "Marshall McLuhan". 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.". 12 7/8 x 10 3/16 in. (327 x 259 mm). Sheet Size: 17 1/4 x 13 in. (438 x 330 mm). [24697]
