As many of you know, there has been another potential problem with photographs being printed well after a photographer has died and sold as vintage. Some Lewis Hines prints have been called into question. Stephen Perloff in the Photograph Collector Newsletter has written the very best and latest account of this situation.
Some of you may be aware that I have served on the non-profit Photo Review board that owns the Photograph Collector. I have made arrangements for any of my email readers to request a copy of this newsletter with the latest developments on the Hines matter as long as they are available. The cost will be $15 for this single copy. You may charge this amount by calling the Photograph Collector at 215-757-8921. Or you can fax your address (both billing and shipping), credit card number, expiration date, and name on your credit card to 215-757-6421. You may also subscribe to this excellent printed newsletter for a full year for $149.95 and you'll get this issue free (13 issues in all). International airmail is $169.95.
