2 photographs, including 'A Premonitional Work, The Giant's Causeway' and 'Mythic Stone/An Indication Piece,' each mounted, signed in pencil on the mount, signed, titled, dated, and editioned '3/3' in ink on the reverse, framed, 1987-88 (2)

These photographs are in generally excellent condition except as noted below. In high raking light, various tiny deposits of original retouching are visible. Mats are hinged along the upper edges of the mounts. 'A Premonitional Work, The Giant's Causeway' - Upon close examination, a ½-inch crease is visible in the upper left portion of the image; this does not break the emulsion and likely occurred during dry-mounting. Also visible is a minor mounting disturbance in the upper left corner of the image. A mat is hinged along the upper edge to the mount. The reverse of the mount is lightly soiled in part. 'Mythic Stone/An Indication Piece' - Along the lower left edge of the image, there is a small mounting disturbance where the print does not lie completely flush to the mount. On the reverse of each frame is a Laura Carpenter Fine Art, Santa Fe, label.
