Gill and Curl - Vintage - Only Signed Copy
Variously referred to as ‘Gill Curl’, ‘Gill and Curl’ or ‘Gill with Curl’ this is one of many decade defining images from Sam’s first book.
‘Five Girls’ 1962, was the first title of the legendary figure book trilogy, it was followed by Cowboy Kate & Other Stories in 1967 and finally November Girl 1967.
There is only one signed copy. The print is Vintage 1961 signed verso in pencil, on single weight silver gelatin paper. Printed by Sam. Size: 15” x 12” [40.6cm x 30.5cm] It has a small border. The condition is very good to excellent. This print came to light in a recent search of the archives and is being offered here for the first time.
RARITY: At the time of Sam’s passing (2009) the estate contained four silver gelatine prints, of these two were later prints not signed and two were true vintage prints one of which was signed…this print!
CONDITION: Very good to excellent condition. Single weight silver gelatin print. Light corner crease in top right had corner but within margins. This print was obviously used for reproduction due to small pencil number reference in bottom right hand corner verso. Retouched by Sam (as with all signed silver gelatin lifetime prints). Signed verso in pencil with book title in Sam’s hand but not dated. Date of print 1961, date of signature unknown but probably 1962,
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 $2,000. This second print has proved to be very popular, it provides flexibility of ownership and makes for a wonderful gift.
