first edition Photograph
1915 · San Francisco
San Francisco: Cardinell-Vincent Co., Official Photographers, 1915. Photograph. Twenty-five 4x5 inch "intaglio" photos, sepia with white borders, printed on stiff alkaline cardstock. Fine prints, sound, clean and unmarked. These are enclosed in a badly worn envelope printed with the title and company information and handwritten Christmas greeting. FYI, the itaglio photo process is an old one (1820s) and appears per Google to be a sort "gravure", easier to work up than most species of gravure, and rather inferior to them.
