EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to a significant moment in history - the first half-tone reproduction of a photograph in a newspaper. Captured on March 4,1880, by an anonymous American photographer from the 19th century, this groundbreaking image was featured in the New York Daily Graphic. The photo showcases the innovative technique of half-tone reproduction, which allowed for more detailed and accurate photographic prints to be produced in newspapers. This technological advancement revolutionized journalism and visual storytelling forever. Preserved within a private collection and later included as an illustration in "Historic Events 1839-1939" by Helmut and Alison Gernsheim (Longmans, 1960), this print holds immense historical value. The source of this remarkable piece is none other than the renowned Gernsheim Collection. Printed using gravure printing techniques, this image captures not only a historic event but also represents the evolution of photography itself. It serves as a reminder of how far we have come since that fateful day in March when newspapers began incorporating photographs into their pages. With its rich historical context and artistic significance, this print offers viewers an opportunity to delve into our past while appreciating the ingenuity that paved the way for modern-day visual media.
