SIGISMUND BLUMANN (1872 -1956) “THE LONELY ROAD” 1930’s. 10 ½ x 13 ¼ inches on a 16 x 20 mount “Lithochrome” print. Blumann had an important role in the instruction and promotion of California photography. He was editor of the major photography publication Camera Craft from 1924 – 1933, and later Photo Art Monthly. He was a fellow of the Royal Photograph Society. This is a fine example of his best work. It is reminiscent of photographs by Missonne. Blumann’s “lithochrome” process may have been influenced by Missonne’s “Mediabrome,” it is never the less a quite different silver process, as some prints have some silvering in the dark areas. Characteristic of his photographs, it has a printed signature on the recto and a decorative label on the verso giving the title. This print is tipped onto the backing. There is a slight tear on the right edge of the mount. The print itself is undamaged.
