Anne Geddes Matted Print Information Label

This item is a rectangular informational adhesive label or printed insert, likely attached to the backing of a matted photographic print by the renowned New Zealand photographer Anne Geddes. The label is white with black typography and features a small color thumbnail image of a child in a classic Geddes pose (appearing tucked into a pumpkin or similar prop). The text provides a biographical summary of Geddes’ career, stating she has been photographing children for over 12 years and highlighting her creative set designs and 'unpredictable subjects.' The layout is vertical, with the 'ANNE GEDDES' trademark logo oriented sideways. Manufacturing details indicate the work was published by Portal Publications, specializing in blank and greeted cards, stationery, and matted prints. The condition appears fair to good; the paper shows slight age-toning and minor foxing or spotting, particularly on the lower-left edge. Such labels were typical of the mass-marketed stationery and decorative art boom of the mid-to-late 1990s. The printing quality is standard for commercial lithography of that era.
