Reichert 's engaging imagery helped pioneer the genre of outdoor nude photography depicting the naturist family lifestyle. This is an authentic, vintage NOT a modern reprint circa full color photogravure print from an image by the internationally renown German naturist photographer Kurt Reichert.
Finephoto is pleased to have acquired a rare collection of full color photogravure plates from which represent the very first color outdoor nude studies to be produced in pre WWII Germany. During the 's color photography was in its infancy and due to the labor intensive process and cost, was seldom utilized - except for special projects. Kurt Reichert, known for a strong sense of aesthetics, tended to use physically fit "naturists" in his images including athletes, dancers and gymnasts.
The Nazi regime both encouraged and promoted the idea of outdoor health, fitness and vitality along with the unashamed display of the naked body. In 's Germany, beautiful outdoor naturist images depicting men, women and children, basking in the sunshine, playing and exercising in "the great outdoors", were promoted as a national symbol of fitness, beauty and healthy family living. Beautiful in its color palette, the uniquely rich pastel hues of this vintage print are a result of early 's color process and films - in this case Agfa Corp.
Photographically and culturally, t his 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: vintage 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. 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. We list beautiful original vintage photographs, photogravures and antique prints everyday! They make excellent vintage prints for framing and display.

Prints are made by pressing suitable paper heavily down upon the inked copper plate which has been intricately etched to varying depths corresponding with the actual tonality of the original negative, This precisely etched plate combined with a fine "honeycomb" screen controls the amount of ink to be transfered to the paper at any given point in direct proportion to the variation of tone in the original image. The result is a true continuous tone print which combines many qualities of a traditional silver based photograph with a tactile feel similar to an etching, engraving or lithograph.
Rich in tonal detail, the photogravure process produces delicately rendered shades for a look which is unique in the world of photographic print making. In the early to mid 's photogravure was selected when budgets allowed for special high quality publishing and portfolio projects, but due to it's significant expense and labor, the process is rarely seen today.
