Description
- Robert Frank
- 'WELLFLEET, MASS.' (MARILYN DEAD)
signed and titled in ink in the margin, 1962, printed later (Lines of My Hand, unpaginated)
Provenance
Acquired from the photographer, through an intermediary, circa 1980
Condition
This print, on double-weight paper with a surface sheen, is in generally very good condition. There is what appears to be sunning around the periphery of the print in the mat opening. When examined in raking light, the following are visible: a 3/4-inch sharp handling crease that appears to break the emulsion in the lower central area of the print, and tiny deposits of original retouching, also in the lower portion of the flag.
