Lily Tomlin signed original Jack Robinson special edition 20 x 24 Chromogenic print photograph (C-Type print). A studio portrait of actress and comedian Lily Tomlin from March, 1971, she has signed the lower right corner in black ink. Tomlin was a regular on the television show “Laugh-In" from 1969-1973. Here she portrays her character Ernestine, the brash and tough and uncompromising telephone operator. The photograph was hand printed from Jack Robinson’s original negative in 2000 at the Jack Robinson Archive and Gallery darkroom in Memphis, TN. A C-print, also known as a C-type print or Chromogenic print, is a photographic print made from a color negative or slide. The color negative or slide is exposed to Chromogenic photographic paper (wet process paper) that contains three emulsion layers, each of which is sensitized to a different primary color. After the image has been exposed it is submerged in a chemical bath, where each layer reacts to the chemicals to create a full-color image. Because the chemicals are so complex, the image continues to react even after the process is completed. Very good condition. Measures 20 x 24. The photograph is hand stamped on the back, comes with an embossed and stamped first edition book on Jack Robinson published in 2011 by Palazzo Editions in England. Also comes with a Gotta Have Rock & Roll Certificate of Authenticity.
