Eugene Smith and Robert S. Harrah, that will be offered for sale/auction in the near future. This image is a museum quality print of Grandma Moses taken by Arnold Newman in 1949. It was printed for my father, Robert S. Harrah, in 1988. The bottom of the print is enscribed in  pencil as follows "Grandma Moses, Eagle Bridge NY 1949..........For Bob Harrah, with best regards, Arnold" (see photo). It is also signed bottom right (see photo). The registrar at the Museum of Photographic Arts in San Diego viewed this photo and said "it is rare to find " signed prints by Arnold Newman. On the reverse side it is stamped (see photo). It is an unmounted, gelatin silver print on 11" X 14" paper. The image is 10 1/2" X 12 3/4". It is in very good condition. There is slight bunching in all 4 corners and very small dents along the bottom edge. None of these effect the image and would not be visible once mounted. A letter from Mr. Newman to my father (see photos) describes how my father received the print. My father had taken a photo of Mr. Newman and W. Eugene Smith together. Mr. Newman wanted the print and permission to use it in a publication. In exchange for that, my father received this print. It also documents that the print is of special quality "not the kind of prints I make when I am just doing something for reproduction".   www.harrahimages.com   **     Place a Bid!
