Richard Avedon Foundation
" ... At the age of twenty-two, Avedon began working as a freelance photographer, primarily for Harper’s Bazaar. Initially denied the use of a studio by the magazine, he photographed models and fashions on the streets, in nightclubs, at the circus, on the beach and at other uncommon locations, employing the endless resourcefulness and inventiveness that became a hallmark of his art.

Duotone Process (PrintWiki)
" ... A two-color halftone produced by overprinting two halftone screens made from the same photograph (usually a black-and-white photograph), as a means of generating a monochromatic image with a full range of tonal gradations. In the creation of a duotone, two halftone plates are made, one for black, which picks up the highlight and shadow regions, and one for middle tones, either other shades of black, or another color. When two non-black colors are used in the production of a duotone, it is often called a duochrome. Duotones are often made to increase detail in the black regions of an image, or as a special effect ... "
Lithography Process (Tate)
" ... Offset lithography involves printing the image onto an intermediate surface before the final sheet. The process is ‘offset’ because the plate does not come in direct contact with the paper, which preserves the quality of the plate. With offset lithography, the image is reversed twice, and appears on the final sheet the same way round as on the stone or plate ... "
