This is a hand-made platinum Estate print. The process was an early process that Imogen practiced as a portrait photographer and also for her own work. This series of photographs were made on glass plate negatives, when Imogen and her friends would take photographic trips around Seattle, and particularly, to Vashon Island. This contemporary Platinum print is made in the traditional photographic method that Imogen used.
Provenance
For Imogen, a love of platinum printing began early in her career during her time working as an assistant at Edward Curtis's Studio in Seattle. She was inpsired to gain more knowledge about the platinum printing process by the printer at the studio, Adolph Kuhn. With Kuhn's encouragement, Imogen traveled to Dresden, Germany in 1909 to study photographic chemistry with Robert Luther at Technische Hochschule.
