This is an authentic, vintage (NOT a modern reprint) circa 1939 full color photogravure print from the Schmolcke Photographic Studio in Magdeburg, Germany. It is a rare full color nude study from the time period. In the late 1930's the Nazi regime both encouraged and promoted the idea of outdoor health, fitness and vitality along with the unashamed display of the naked body. Nudist associations flourished in 1930's Germany and the government looked upon the unadorned beautiful, healthy, fit female body as representing fertility and the womanly ideal of the Aryan race. The Schmolcke Studio in Magdeburg along with some other German photographic studios (see our other store listings - use search term "color") received approval from the German government in producing these outdoor nude studies of the "homeland" female. This vintage full color photogravure comes attached to its original protective backing paper (adhered along the top edge of print - please see second scan) as it was issued originally in circa 1939. Full color photogravures from this time period are uncommon, the labor intensive crafting of a color photogravure and the ensuing expense usually prohibited usage of the process. A natural outdoor nude study which essentially celebrates the pre-war German ideal of the Aryan woman, this early color piece has historical significance on several levels. Whether you collect photogravure prints, vintage photography, or are simply looking for extraordinary home or business decor, this engaging photogravure print will mat, frame and display beautifully! Note: color photogravures are difficult to scan accurately - our scan above does not do justice to the actual print which is much smoother with fine color graduations which our scanners simply cannot convey. This vintage color photogravure print is guaranteed to be authentic and comes with a hand signed CERTIFICATE OF AUTHENTICITY (COA) with unique individual registered serial number from the Finephoto Vintage Archive & Database. Under magnification this plate shows a tight "honeycomb", excellent pressing of ink and a wide range of tone - all indicative of a quality sheet fed gravure print. The watermark word "Finephoto" does not appear on the actual print. READY FOR FRAMING & DISPLAY! - The unique aesthetics produced by the high quality sheet fed photogravure process and the resulting fine prints make them highly collectible. They make excellent vintage prints for framing and display. MUSEUM QUALITY PACKING & SHIPPING! - All vintage prints are expertly packed and shipped by USPS First Class Mail with Delivery Confirmation and Insurance.
