Condition
This toned gelatin silver print, toned and with an application of pigment (tar and solvent), is in generally very good condition. As expected, there are deposits of paint and toner in the margins and some stray deposits on the reverse.
Gonzalez Palma utilizes sepia toner after fixing and washing his prints. He then applies pigment--a combination of tar (asphalt) and solvent.
