Alfred Eisenstaedt

signed and edition '14/50' in ink in the margin, the photographer's credit/copyright/reproduction rights and Time Inc. stamps, with title and date in pencil, on the reverse, 1933, printed later (Eisenstaedt on Eisenstaedt, p. 39)

This print is in generally excellent condition. There is some faint graphite offsetting in the margins, and the margin edges are lightly darkened, likely from the previous mat. The upper margin is somewhat rippled, and the photographer's signature in the lower margin is slightly smudged. There is adhesive residue at each of the four corners on the reverse, and a few brown deposits overall.
