Christie's New York, Photographs from the Estate of Thomas T. Solley, 14 February 2007, Lot 309

This print, on double-weight, semi-glossy paper, is in generally very good condition. In high raking light, a few tiny deposits of original retouching are visible. There is a one-inch crescent-shaped crease extending from the left edge of the image. The print corners are bumped, and there is a very small loss to the tip of the lower right corner. When examined under ultraviolet light, this print does not appear to fluoresce.
