Photogs / Photo Exhibits This is the place to discuss a particular Photographer (work, style, life, whatever), as well as to post Gallery and Museum Photo Exhibitions and your own impressions of them. As we march on in this new digital world, it is often too easy to forget about the visual importance of the photographic print, as well as their financial importance to the photographer. It is also interesting to remember that some guy named Gene Smith shot with lenses that many lens test reading "never had a picture published in their life" amateurs would turn up their their noses at, as being "unacceptable."

One of the mags on the table is The New Yorker.

Then, the other one seems to be The Punch. Quandary? Brit? American?

BTW, I don't know the answer anyway... just playing detective...

Charis Wilson by George Hurrell 1937. Willem Photographic was offering this print; however, I could not determine if they still had it or what the prices was.

Yes indeed folks,

as the image is so obscure I thought it would take longer to be recognized.

Congrats to the sharp eyed and knowledgeable!

Fwiw, it is on the back cover of B&W magazine #60, 2008. I always like EW well enough but was always more interested in Charis. What is known about the print(s). It appears that at least one lucky person has a print.
