Product description
Edgerton’s high-speed photography turns a fraction of a second into something visible, giving the print both science and visual surprise. The subject is Harold Edgerton’s high-speed Cutting the Card photograph from 1964. That period marker makes the product easier to compare with nearby works from the same decade.
About vintage photography
Vintage prints preserve the look of the film stocks, papers and printing methods of their time. A fine art photograph is composed, printed and displayed with the same care as a painting. The original image dates from 1964. Fine art photography values the photographer’s vision as much as the subject in front of the lens.
Styling this vintage photograph
This vintage photograph brings character to a plain wall or a curated gallery wall. “Cutting the Card” becomes a statement piece at 24×36″, while 11×14″ or 12×18″ fits shelves, desks and gallery walls. Finish “Cutting the Card” with a slim black frame with a wide white mat for a clean, gallery-style look. Build a gallery wall around “Cutting the Card”: add two or three smaller prints that echo its colours and keep the gaps to 2–3 inches.
