DESCRIPTION:
Signed and dated in white ink in the upper left corner of the image, and signed, dated and titled in pencil on the verso. Startling and significant exhbition size print made by Bing. See: Greenough, Snyder, Travis and Westerbeck, On the Art of Fixing A Shadow: One Hundred and Fifty Years of Photography, p.295. This huge image of a horse jumping through fire is primitive and powerful and has tremendous wall appeal and presence. The circus is Ringling Brothers and Barnum and Bailey. Printed on Agfa-Brovira semi-matte paper with a logo on the verso that dates from the 1930s. Shipping and insurance costs will be added to the price and must be paid for by the buyer. Pennsylvania and New York buyers must pay appropriate sales tax. International clients are responsible for their VAT and other custom's oriented charges.
