- FOUR-SIDED DUNE, DEATH VALLEY
- gelatin silver
flush-mounted, signed in pencil and with the photographer's reproduction rights stamp on the reverse, 1954 (Aerial Photographs, pl. 61)
Condition
This luminous, early print is in generally excellent condition. It is mounted to sturdy, grey board. In high raking light, scattered tiny matte deposits, likely original retouching, are visible overall. In the lower left corner, there is a tiny, opaque adhesion of indeterminate nature.
On the reverse of the mount, 'T' is written near the upper edge indicating the print's orientation. The photographer's reproduction rights stamp is on the reverse. Also on the reverse, there are a few tiny rust-colored areas, likely from the hanging brackets of a previous frame.
