unique large-format Polaroid Polacolor print, signed and dated in silver ink in the margin, 1988

This Polaroid print is in generally excellent condition. Its colors appear rich and saturated. In high raking light, long soft surface scratches, which do not break the emulsion, are visible overall. These minor disturbances do not detract from the fine appearance of the print. Also visible are very thin matte areas at the image periphery. The print is hinged to a mat along its upper edge with 2 pieces of paper tape.
