About This Item
Nome, Alaska: F. H. Nowell, 1904. Ephemera. Near fine. A platinum print of a striking Inuit woman dressed in furs and staring down the camera. This image, with no title in the negative, is most often encountered as a photogravure entitled "Eskimo Belle."
Nowell (1864-1960) worked in Nome, Alaska, from 1901 to 1909. In 1909, he moved his studio to Seattle. This image is included in the online catalog of Nowell's work at the University of Washington in gravure format, where the image is cropped slightly at the bottom and the sides.
Image: 7-1/2 by 9 inches, printed with a narrow border. With the photographer's logo reading "Photo by F. H. Nowell" in script and the image number "1200" in the negative. Unmounted but protected in an archival mat and held in place with clear photo corners. This is a platinum print on sepia paper. The image is excellent, with strong contrast and great tonal range. A luminous image.
