Lot Note(s): Signed in the plate. Intended edition of 950 (of which all were printed?). High-grade white Chromecoat coated archival paper. Full margins, as issued. Fine, quality printing. Fine condition. Comment(s): Very scarce. Quite possibly printed in a run of far less than the 950 proposed. The printing was derived from a high-resolution negative produced from the SX-70 camera. In an effort to show that the SX-70 could successfully compete with traditional analogue cameras and film as a fine art medium, the company gave cameras plus a generous stock of film to leading photographers of the day. Their output was then published by the Polaroid Corporation. Image copyright © Monique Jacot. [24686-3-100]
