Hand signed original dye transfer photographic print of Thunder by Moonlight by Robert Vavra, issued in 1978 and accompanied by its Franklin Gallery Certificate of Authenticity.

This is a striking vintage equestrian image by Robert Vavra, one of the most recognized photographers of horses and animal subjects in the twentieth century. Thunder by Moonlight captures a dramatic procession of horses in silhouette beneath a luminous moon, with rich atmosphere and a moody cinematic quality that gives the piece real presence on the wall.

The work is hand signed by Vavra and retains its Certificate of Authenticity on the reverse, identifying it as an original dye transfer photographic print issued by The Franklin Gallery. That combination of signature, vintage issue date, and original dye transfer process gives the piece much stronger collector appeal than a standard later reproduction.

The image is beautifully presented in its vintage frame and reads especially well at display distance, with the dark tonal range and moonlit composition creating a powerful focal point. An excellent piece for collectors of photography, equestrian art, Robert Vavra material, and dramatic animal imagery.

Condition is consistent with age and display. Frame and mat show light vintage wear. Please review all photos closely for the best assessment of condition and presentation.
