Norman Edson Photograph, What type is this

Hoping someone can help me with this. I see some of his work is hand colored. this doesn't seem to be. And his name is printed in gold, Not signed like other ones. Viewable area is 7 1/2" x 9 1/2"
And was framed by Lowman and Hanford Co. Seattle. They went out of business in 1955. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Oh it is Mount Ranier.

If it's Rainier, you need to buy a vowel.

I wonder whether it was in sunlight for so long that it faded out the color?

 

Can I buy an I Please.
Not all of his work was hand colored.
This may be an Orotone? he was famous for them.

 

That's a new term for me. Don't know.

 

Then we are even lol

I was off Googling and a lot of his showed up - looks like a lot of them are in identical frames to the one you have. Maybe it's the lighting or angle, but yours doesn't look as "gold" as many I saw. He sure loved to photograph Rainier!

 

I am having problems trying to figure where to photo this.

 

That's MUCH better! I think you had too much direct light before and it washed the whole thing out.

 

Thanks Susan, the first ones were taken outside. I thought it might have been better. So much for thinking.

 

OMG, I HAVE to have one of those ! Ive never,ever heard of this ! Thank you for the link.

 

You're welcome. I sent them an email and some pictures to see what they can tell me about it and hopefully to verify that it is an orotone before i try to sell it.

 

I LOVED reading about the process, or just what an "orotone" is!!!!!! NIIIICE Photograph BTW!!!!!

 

Tim from orotone.org replied to my email and told me it was an orotone. Yay!! Unfortunately he also told me that the site is going down in a few days.
Thank you all for your comments and likes.

That had to be one of the quickest and most profitable sales i have ever had. 24 hours or less.

Very cool, Mikey!

I have been out of town for a few days at a conference. Just catching up. I had heard of orotones. Cool that you had this and also that it sold so fast.

 

Nice piece, nicer sale! Good on you..................
