A pleasant surprise for fans & collectors of Edward Curtis’ photographs was showcased on PBS’ Antiques Roadshow, January 30th broadcast.
A woman from Eugene, Oregon had three lovely Curtis Orotones (also known as Goldtones) appraised by Daile Kaplan, Swann Galleries Vice President and Director of Photographs.
The segment can be seen here on the PBS website.
The vintage 8″ x 10″ goldtones were in the original Curtis Studio “batwing” frames and in good condition. The Old Well At Acoma, The Rush Gatherer, and The Vanishing Race represent three of Curtis’ most famous images. Each vintage, 8″ x 10″ goldtone was valued from $4,000 to $9,000 for a total value as a group of $15,000 – $22,500.
We have all three of these images available in the Goldtone™ gallery on our website. Made from Curtis’ original glass-plate negatives, our contemporary original Goldtones™ have a luminosity and three-dimensionality that is unequaled by any other photographic medium.
While it was Curtis’ favorite process, the complexity and expense of producing goldtones in his day meant that only about 1 in 1,000 of his negatives were originally printed as goldtones.
