The print was appropriated from The Metropolitan Museum of Art.
Collotype printing is a 19th century printing process that is considered the finest technique for the reproduction of fine art. Great color saturation is a striking feature of collotypes; however, because of the relatively long time it takes to produce a collotype print and the expense of the process, the craft has slipped into obscurity.
The pre-eminent Viennese firm Max Jaffé (1875–early 1990s) was renowned for its superb fine art reproductions. Its American subsidiary, the Arthur Jaffé Heliochrome Company, closed in the 1980s.
These collotype fine art prints were printed by Max Jaffe Press in Vienna. Each print was printed on card stock and the quantities are very limited.

I
honestly do my very best to describes each item exactly as I see them and give the best evaluation with in limit of my expertise.
Due to the rising cost of postage and shipping I will do my very best to keep the shipping and handling to a bare minimum.
I normally use the United States Postal Service to ship, which just had a rate increase.
I know that high postage rates are a deterrent for purchasing some merchandise.
I try to compensate high postage prices by lowering the prices on merchandise and using a standard shipping cost for all buyers.
Example:
I ships from the zip code 77050 to all parts of the United States.
I used a formula to determine the average cost between the zones.
On some shipments I am in the
black
and some shipment I am in the
red
with little or no handle charges so when bidding take in consideration the effort put forth to reduce shipping cost.
Thank you in advance for bidding on this item, I know that you will enjoy it and it will server it purpose.

end.
I will ship within the boundary of the United States.
For
Hawaii
,
Alaska
and U.S territories there will be an additional shipping and handling charges so if you are interested please email me, for correct shipping and handling cost.
International Buyers
I also ship International
with restrictions you must email me for the correct shipping and handling cost before bidding or buying.
International buyers please take inconsideration that the shipping cost will be more for some countries than others countries and not all mail services are provided by
United States Postal Service
in all countries that could affect the total shipping cost.
So when you email for shipping cost please have some idea of how much the item would cost to ship.
By having some idea of cost can help you determine if you want to buy the item.
In order for me to determine the cost the item must be completely pack and wrapped for exact weight and then weighed.
Then I must go the USPS website and calculate the cost and fees and this take time and effort.
