FINE PHOTO GALLERIES is pleased to offer an authentic, genuine (NOT a modern reprint) vintage circa 1936/37 photogravure (also known as Héliogravure) by the famous and controversial cinematographer/photographer Leni Riefenstahl. Photographically, Riefenstahl was renowned for the artistry and atmosphere she infused into her imagery. This image was created at the height of Riefenstahl's career and fame during her award winning cinematic/photographic production of the 1936 Olympic Games in Berlin, Germany.
