Silver print, the reverse signed, titled and dated in ink, and with the photographer's copyright stamp. Framed.

Broad rippling across the upper and lower portions of the print. Some drying marks are visible in raking light at the upper left image corner. Minor wear to the upper print corners and to the lower right corner; these in the margin area. In raking light a handling crease is visible towards the centre of the left image edge, and another, softer one can be seen at almost the same height at the right print edge (this one in the white margin). Overall condition is good.
