Description
- O. Winston Link
- HOT SHOT EASTBOUND, IAGER, WEST VIRGINIA
- gelatin silver
signed, dated (twice), and annotated in pencil and with the photographer's copyright/credit/reproduction rights stamp, numbered in ink, on the reverse, 1957, probably printed in 1991 (Steam, Steel & Stars, pp. 124-25)
Condition
This print, on matte surface paper with a slightly pebbled texture, is in generally very good condition. In raking light, very slight silvering is visible at the image periphery. Visible upon close examination are a number of small to medium crescent-shaped handling creases, a number of which appear to break the emulsion, throughout the print.
On the reverse, the print is annotated 'NW 1103,' 'PCFG3,' and '4-91' by the photographer in pencil or ink. Based on these annotations, we believe the print was made in April of 1991.
