vintage 1925
photogravure by renown German photographer Dr. Gregor Krause (from a negative/glass slide he created in circa 1912). Turn of the century photography was largely responsible for the "discovery" of the island of Bali by the rest of the world at large. It was the photographs of Dr. Krause portraying young Balinese women, whose breasts were by custom often unclothed, that played a great role in the arising of tourism to the island. These images stimulated an influx of visitors and tourists from all around the world, to Bali. Krause's photographs captured the beauty of Balinese women and most particularly their breasts, which would quickly become the standard of "breast beauty" for the West - spawning all manner of breast related advertising and even a brassiere called the "Bali Bra". Krause’s provocative black and white shots of maidens and lads bathing, topless women going about their daily business and half naked women amid coconut palms evoked an exotic island paradise where the women were beautiful and the cares of the world could be forgotten. But, by the early 1950's, the innocent, uninhibited Bali which Krause's lens had captured was all but gone - lost forever to the continuing advances of western ideas and influence.
Finephoto is pleased to offer this rare collection of outstanding nude studies which were carefully selected and assembled in 1924/25 by Dr. Peter Landow in Berlin, Germany. With a search spanning from Europe and Africa to distant South Pacific Islands, Landow sought the finest in nude photography from the world's greatest photographers. In 1925 after a lengthy selection process, the resulting 120 images were printed in the finest quality sepia toned gravure to the highest archival standards
. The paper is of superb quality and the prints themselves are simply beautiful to behold. This vintage collection contained what many would consider to be the finest examples of artistic nude photography of the early 20th century, from some of the most talented artists of the era.
This photogravure is guaranteed to be authentic and comes with a hand signed CERTIFICATE OF AUTHENTICITY (COA) with unique individual registered serial number from the Finephoto Archive & Database.
