Condition Report:
Please note the colors and shades in the online catalogue illustration may vary depending on screen settings.
This early ferrotyped gelatin silver print, on glossy paper, is in generally excellent condition. As is typical of prints that have been ferrotyped, a general unevenness of the glossy surface and occasional pitting are visible upon close inspection. Visible under raking light are the a vertical crease at the center left of the image that does not appear to break the emulsion and a raised area in the center of the image, corresponding to the writing in pencil on the reverse. The margin corners are very slightly bumped.
On the reverse, 'RA 2613-C' and '5103' are written in pencil in an unidentified hand.
When examined under ultraviolet light, this print does not appear to fluoresce.
Provenance:
Collection of Pare Lorentz, poet and filmmaker who produced films for the Resettlement Administration documenting the plight of the poor
