MOUNT RUNDLE, A Hand-Tinted Photograph from Alberta, CANADA by GEORGE NOBLE, is a large, beautiful, pre-1940 antique hand-tinted photograph by George Noble. Looking very contempora ry today in it's original black frame, this mint condition photo of Mount Rundle in Alberta, Canada, is breathtaking. The colouring is almost kalaidoscope or dream-like! This very rare photo is mounted under a single matte, pencil framed, titled and signed by the artist. Original dustcover is on the backing, but old masking tape is on all sides. "This MOUNT RUNDLE Hand-Tinted photograph is Alberta all-decked-out in splendid snow, and it's an excellent example of a fine B&W hand-coloured photo. It is stunning when displayed in today's modern decor, without having to change frames, and truly one of my all-time favourites!" -Paul Gillmore ABOUT THE PHOTOGRAPHER: George Noble, (1879-1965) was a professional photographer at Banff, Alberta, Canada. Noble was born in Woolwich, England where he apprenticed as a photographer. He came to Banff in 1909 to operate a photographic business for his uncles, George and Bill Fear. In 1919, Noble bought the photographic business and, in 1932, acquired the remainder of the Fear Brothers business. George Noble and employees, such as photographers Bill Jamieson and Fred Armbrister, produced a wide range of documentary, scenic and commercial views. Noble's shop offered black and white and hand-coloured prints of local events and Rocky Mountain views. Image size: 7.5 x 9.25 inch Framed outer size: 13 x 15 inch GC&C Stock #352 Show more
