"Etherton Gallery is known for its commitment to post-World War II American photojournalism and documentary photography, and regularly exhibits work by W. Eugene Smith, Danny Lyon, Robert Frank, and Garry Winogrand, among others. W. Eugene Smith’s photograph, Shana Frowning, is a rare, intimate image of his daughter Shana from the Silver Lake (NY) series, made while Gene Smith was living in New York City. There is a W. Eugene Smith Magnum stamp on the print verso. Smith probably made few prints of this charming image." - Terry Etherton
