Title is PBY Blister Gunner 1944, Rescue at Rabaul. This image was printed later (1990) by Horace Bristol himself and is signed on the verso. Do not be fooled by galleries and other auctions selling cropped and digital fiber print images. This is one of the very finest, full (non-cropped) images printed by Horace Bristol from the original negative. The image size is 9.75" x 9.75". Paper size is 14" x 11". It is beautifully framed (cost me $750) in a ROMA Pewter limited edition frame, with 4 x 10 inch silk archival matting; framed size is 25.5" x 31", and the signature is windowed on the verso. You will not find a better condition, more detailed print in a better presented frame, guaranteed. My pictures do not do the work justice, and I can provide additional higher resolution photos if need be. Pictures are of the actual piece not some stock image.I am selling various pieces from my collection in order to make room for newly purchased works. This wonderful masterpiece has been in my collection for several years, and has materially grown in value. Current gallery price, if you can find one, is $20,000.00 unframed. My starting price with NO RESERVE will make a lucky bidder extremely happy that they were able to get a valued heirloom to add to their collection.I purchased this work from the Robert Miller Gallery in New York City at auction in 2003; Provenance record B0211.001-C, and is unconditionally guaranteed as described.
