toned gelatin silver print with hand-applied gilt and pink and blue inks, signed and with the photographer's copyright/title/medium/edition stamp, editioned '9/40' in pencil, on the reverse, framed, the Buhl Collection label on the reverse, 2003

Jackson Fine Art, Atlanta, 2004

This toned gelatin silver print, on semi-glossy double-weight paper, is in generally very good condition. Tiny deposits of gilt and pink and blue inks are visible upon close inspection. The print is purposely torn to the image, and the edges are consequently somewhat irregular. There is a one-inch crease extending from the lower edge of the print, which breaks the emulsion.
