There are 4 “artist-signed” proof prints in the 17” 13 1/8” of the Chesapeake Bay Bridge by Marion Warren, the renowned “Bay” Photographer.. The Bay Bridge is one of Warrens most iconic photographs. With an eye for detail, composition and the use of dramatic lighting, Warren captured cars traveling the early single span bridge under a full moon. After this group sells there are only 5 remaining Bay Bridge images left in various large sizes.

Warren is a well-known photographer (1920 - 2006) who documented the Chesapeake Bay region over nearly 60 years. His black-and-white photographs celebrate the life of oysterman and crabbers and the growth of Annapolis and the Bay area from a sleepy backwater to sailing capital of the world. For nearly a decade, due to his declining health, I was the only official designated printer for his gallery work.

Richard Olsenius, of American Landscape Gallery, is pleased to announce the sale of his private collection of M E. Warren signed artist proofs. Olsenius was the only authorized printer of Warren’s iconic photographs from 2002 until Marion’s death in 2006 Their collaboration produced some of the highest quality art prints of Warren’s career as stated by Warren himself.

To maintain consistency and image quality, Warren compared each new print or change in print size to Richard’s artist’s proofs and then signed them to establish his approval. Richard then set these match prints aside as the standard to compare any future prints by Olsenius and Warren. It’s been 17 years since their collaboration ended with Warren’s passing  and Olsenius has now released this one-of-a-kind “Printer’s Proof Collection” of 55 M.E.Warren hand-signed printer’s proofs.. All sales are final and non-refundable.
