  • Gelatin silver print

Provenance

Condition

This early print is slightly warm-toned and is on double-weight paper with a semi-glossy surface and wide margins. It is in generally excellent condition. There is an extremely faint, pale rust-colored area at the lower margin edge. The corners are slightly bumped, and there are 3 small, soft creases at the right margin edge. These do not affect the image.
