Mangelsen. Captured at dusk on the sweeping plains of Buffalo Springs, Kenya, the image brilliantly balances the rich orange hues of an African sunset against the sharp, elegant silhouettes of a majestic giraffe mother and her young.
This piece is number 169 out of a strict limited run of 950 prints worldwide, personally hand-signed and numbered by Mangelsen in silver ink along the lower margin.
Provenance & Framing:
This photograph comes professionally housed in a classic, triple-matted wood frame. The original brown paper backing has been completely preserved and retains the official early-career Thomas D. Mangelsen Gaslight Alley (Jackson, WY) studio biography label, as well as the historic joint care guidelines distributed by the Eastman Kodak Company. An exceptional, investment-grade find for collectors of legendary nature photography or high-end safari-themed decor.
Condition & Condition Notes
Condition: Very Good Condition, Vintage / Antique / Used, Original Condition Unaltered, Some Imperfections.
Condition Notes: The print colors remain remarkably striking, warm, and vivid. The custom-matted framing is structurally sound and secure. The protective paper backing on the reverse side shows expected, minor surface age discoloration and light tearing along the edges consistent with its 1987 vintage origin, but all descriptive labels and text remain perfectly intact and legible.
