Description
- Ansel Adams
- 'WINTER SUNRISE, SIERRA NEVADA, FROM LONE PINE, CALIFORNIA'
- Gelatin silver print
mounted, signed in pencil on the mount, a Carmel studio stamp, title and date in ink, on the reverse, 1944, printed in 1978 (400 Photographs, p. 245; Yosemite and the Range of Light, pl. 99)
Condition
This print is in generally excellent condition. The overmat is attached with 5 pieces of white cloth tape on the reverse of the mount.
Although Karen Haas's and Rebecca Senf's book, 'Ansel Adams in the Lane Collection,' publishes the most comprehensive list to date of the studio stamps and labels Adams used throughout his career, the Carmel studio stamp on the reverse of the present mount is not reproduced. The stamp, similar to BMFA 11, but with the zip code '93923,' is dated with both the negative and printing dates (in this case, April 1978) in an unidentified hand in ink.
