Peter Keetman

ferrotyped, signed, titled, and dated in pencil, and with the photographer's credit/copyright stamp on the reverse, framed, 1960, printed in 1968 (Fotoform, p. 69)

This photograph, on single-weight Leonar paper, is in generally excellent condition. As is frequently seen with ferrotyped prints, occasional pitting of the glossy surface is visible overall. Scattered surface scratches, likely a result of the ferrotyping process, and deposits of original retouching are also visible upon close examination. In raking light, some soft and sharp handling creases are visible overall, and there is some general wear to the margin edges and corners. The left and right margins are very slightly wavy. There is a small ink deposit in the upper left margin.
