scott fandangoRHYS, if they are so common, why cant i find any other examples as being sold...most of Burkes Photos that sell at the auction houses are smooth(glossy) black and white pictures and look like normal photos...many of those have signatures on the photo...this photo it would be impossible to sign because of the texture, the ink would run down the grooves and give a smeared look....
DAN, very nice piece and interesting infomation....could Burke have been experimenting with a new photo manufacturing process that "protected" and increased the durability of photo paper?
the front surface also keeps the photo from bending or staining it appears...the back surface has more of a paper stock feel....
thanks again for the input!
