Provenance
The photographer to the artist and educator Emerson Woelffer, 1956
Gift of the above, circa 1990, to the present owner, a photographer and educator
Condition
This photograph, trimmed to the image and flush-mounted, is in generally very good condition. In raking light, the following are visible: a barely perceptible scratch in the upper central portion of the image; scattered tiny deposits of original retouching; and small impressions that do not appear to break the emulsion. There is minor edge wear. None of the above are visible at a normal viewing distance and do not detract from the overall appearance of this fine print.
The reverse of the mount is inscribed by the photographer: 'Xmas, 1956. Greetings! and love Cathy + Aaron--+ dying to see you again. When? A.'
