Bes Seated Under Lamp - *Signed* Later.

£3,750.00

From the Cowboy Kate & Other Stories 1964 project but not precisely the image in the book. In the final layout design, Sam only used the lower half of this image and a different version on another spread. See the book reference images on this page.

RARITY: One of five prints of this image, there are three at this scale and two smaller prints. There are only two signed copies. The print is later c1980 signed in 2000, on double weight silver gelatin paper. Printed by Sam. Size: 16” x 12” [40.6cm x 30.5cm] It has a small border. The condition is excellent.

CONDITION: Excellent condition apart from a very slight surface crease in bottom left dark area. Double weight silver gelatin. Later print c.1980 signed verso in pencil in 1998.

Silver Gelatin prints (both vintage and later) acquired directly from the estate are accompanied by a free estate print of the same image. These are identical to our standard size estate prints. To the best of our knowledge we are the only photographic estate in the world offering this generous flexible feature of owning a vintage work by Sam. These estate prints are produced to museum standards and appear on the secondary market with values up to USD $3,000. This second print has proved to be very popular, it provides flexibility of ownership and makes for a wonderful gift.

Please note that during the June 2025 Sale, all Cowboy Kate silver gelatin print buyers will also receive a free copy of the 1975 limited edition of Cowboy Kate & Other Stories. Online sellers are listing the book for between £80 and £800 depending on condition and signature. Our copies (there are a very few left) are pristine in the printers original orange tissue paper and bumper cartons. No online (or bricks and mortar) bookstores have pristine copies. The pages in this 1975 edition were from the original 1964 photo gravure printing - that were discovered unbound in a warehouse a decade later - you can read more about the book on our site.

Please contact the estate directly for assistance with all your collecting questions.
