Specialist note

Bernard Shea Horne, born to the family that built Pittsburgh's first department store, enrolled at the legendary Clarence H. White School of Photography in New York in 1916. Throughout the late 1910s and 1920s Horne created abstract studies and experimental still-life compositions in platinum. Other such platinum print studies by the artist reside in the Thomas Walther Collection at The Museum of Modern Art, New York.
