vintage very high-quality collotype print mounted on a greeting card of “the subway” a painting by George Tooker
Print no. W1155
In original protective sleeve With envelope.
Blank inside.
From the back:
“Collotype printing is a 19th century printing process that is considered the finest technique for the reproduction of fine art. Great color saturation is a striking feature of collotypes; however, because of the relatively long time it takes to produce a collotype print and the expense of the process, the craft has slipped into obscurity.
The collotype prints on these note cards were produced 25 to 75 years ago (age accurate at the time of production.) they were made by Max Jaffe press in Vienna and Arthur Jaffe press in New York. The quantities are limited, some having as few as 50 images. The cards 5 x 7 inch size allows them to be easily recycled into a piece of collectible artwork by simply slipping them into any 5 x 7 frame.”
