  • gelatin silver print
mounted, signed in ink on the mount, the photographer's credit stamp and title and date in pencil on the reverse, framed, 1941, printed later (Karsh, p. 38)

Condition

This print, on semi-glossy paper, is in generally excellent condition. There are 2 very minute emulsion losses at the lower right corner. This does not detract from the overall fine appearance of the print. On the reverse of the mount, 'K.P.' is written in an unidentified hand above the credit stamp.
