Description: Paul StrandGirl and Child-TolucaPhotogravurefrom theMexican Portfolio 2nd Edition1967 This photogravure is from Strand's Mexican Portfolio, Based on photographs taken by the author on his travels through Mexico in 1932-33, the striking photogravures depict architecture, landscape, the indigenous people, and religious folk sculpture. Strand's work first made its appearance as Photographs of Mexico in a limited edition of 250 copies in 1940, with the printing of the steel-faced gravure plates by master platemaker Otto Wackernagel being supervised by Strand himself and executed by Charles Furth and the Photogravure and Color Company. This second edition utilized the original Wackernagel plates but they were now printed by Albert Delong at the Andersen Lamb Company of Brooklyn. Strand was even more pleased with this version, remarking: "[they] have been able to get even more out of these twenty beautiful plates in printing the second edition.this work, I think, is superlative.Delong.has made these plates sing." "The images are a celebration of the subjects pride, dignity, and endurance, and are a clear testament to Strand s belief that the photogravure process is capable of yielding the finest results achievable in photographic printmaking."
