A Unique Photographic Print: A Collectible Within a Collectible
Each box set of "Aretha Cool: The Intimate Portraits" includes not only the book itself but also a signed and numbered, limited edition print that matches the edition number of the book. This ensures that each set is perfectly paired and unique to its owner, enhancing its collectibility and significance.
The included 8x10 black and white print is a standout piece of artistry. Signed by the author, Matthew Jordan Smith, each print is produced from analog film, adding to its rarity and vintage charm. This traditional method of photography, known for its high quality and intricate detail, captures the soulful essence of Aretha Franklin in a manner that digital photography simply cannot replicate.
These prints offer a tangible connection to the past, rendered in a medium that is increasingly appreciated for its authenticity and craftsmanship. They represent not just a rare item worth owning, but a piece of art that holds historical significance and personal value. As each photograph showcases the Queen of Soul in a light never seen before, it becomes a portal to the profound impact Aretha Franklin had on music and culture, curated by a photographer who is himself a master of his craft.
Owning this print is like owning a fragment of history—each frame a window into the life and legacy of one of music's most iconic figures, captured by an equally iconic photographer. This combination of limited availability, historical importance, and artistic excellence makes each print, and thereby each box set, a coveted item for collectors and fans of Aretha Franklin alike.
