Eadweard MuybridgeAnimal Locomotion: Plate 161 (Man Leaping), 1887

Collotype printing has become increasingly rare, but in the late 19th century it was employed for its effectiveness in reproducing the subtle delicacy of drawings and photographs. A photographic negative is projected onto a printing plate coated with light-sensitive gelatin that hardens and becomes receptive to the application of ink. Paper is laid on top and the image is printed on a press.

For this picture, we recommend book-mounting the print in a passepartout and framing in a black wooden box. It is widely accepted as the most traditional way to frame photography—especially rare or vintage works—giving visual priority to the image and yet fitting stylishly into most interiors. Other options are of course available. All our frames are handmade by one of the UK's leading framing workshops, and are constructed to museum standards. Please note this price does include framing but excludes any relevant taxes and shipping costs.

We aim to ship works that are unframed within 4 weeks and within 6 weeks for works that are framed, although sometimes we will beat that! All works are shipped from the UK. Please note that the price listed above does include framing, but excludes additional taxes and shipping costs.
