Orotone 5
I would attribute this to Asahel Curtis, Edward Curtis's brother.
An Orotone is defined as a positive image printed on glass, often made from contact printing the original negative. In the case of Edward S. Curtis, the man who perfected this process, the positive plate was then backed with a mixture of gold dust and banana oil. Due to the fragile nature of the plate, these images were most often sold framed in gilded frames that were sensitive to the Arts and Crafts period.
Ashael Curtis was a photographer himself and managed Edward's studio before going out on his own. I have had several paper photographs by him in the past.
This image is remarkable. It shows some hand coloring which Ashael is known for, especially in his silver or platinum prints.
It measures 16 inches tall by 19 inches wide and frame is in good condition. |

Arts and Crafts design is evident in this 1895 poster advertising Elbert
Hubbard's " The Philistine" magazine. This publication allowed Hubbard a soap
box for voicing his opinions and philosophy as well as sell his products. The
designer Dwight Ripley Colin's monogram is in the lower left part of the image.
The image measures 18 inches tall by 10 inches wide on paper that measure 21
inches tall by 14 inches wide. It is presented in an appropriate oak frame measuring
29 inches tall by by 21 inches wide. This example is in excellent condition. |
