949. [Muybridge, Eadweard] Eadweard Muybridge Yosemite Photographs, 1872. [4] pp. Illustrated with ten albumen photographs printed from replicated negatives made from photographs by Eadweard Muybridge. 17-1/4x21-1/2, mounted on 24-1/2x29-1/2 heavy archival boards with archival paper guards laid in cloth-covered clamshell box with gilt-titled black morocco cover label. Limited edition printed by the "Chicago Albumen Works". Yosemite: Yosemite Natural History Association, 1977. This is one of the more remarkable photographic publications of this century. The Yosemite Natural History Association [presently the Yosemite Association] backed this project for reprinting ten of Muybridge's giant prints of Yosemite as a means of raising money for the Association. They turned to Joel Snyder who had experience in duplicating historic photographic techniques for the Smithsonian. Snyder and a colleague, Doug Munson, worked for three years before acheiving confidence in the quality of their prints made by the albumen print technique used by Muybridge and contemporary photographers. Since albumen print paper was no longer manufactured they had to produce their own by coating a very scarce kind of paper with egg whites mixed with ammonium chloride, then coating them again with egg white and silver nitrate when they were ready to print. If this sounds easy, it was not. Considerable trial and error was required before some degree of consistency could be achieved. As if the preparation of the printing paper were not enough of a challenge, they also had to produce the negatives from existing mammoth plates [none of Muybridge's negatives have survived] and this required making five separate negatives for each image in order to reproduce the range of tones in the original prints. Needless to say, the cost became enormous and the cost for each portfolio made it unattractive even to Yosemite lovers and photograph collectors. The Yosemite Natural History Association received few orders and the project was discontinued after only about fifty sets were produced instead of the 300 that were intended and stated in the text of this copy. In addition to its rarity, this is a true collector's item for the beauty and accuracy of reproduction and the selection of the most beautful and dramatic of Muybridge's photographs of Yosemite. A few areas of water staining on cloth case - otherwise in fine condition. (2500/4000).
