Condition Report:
Please note the colors and shades in the online catalogue illustration may vary depending on screen settings.
This early print is in generally excellent condition. Visible under raking light is a deposit of the photographer's original retouching in the upper left corner. There is a small scuff in the center of the image and a small scratch at the left edge, neither of which appear to break the emulsion. There is minor wear to the edges with occasional losses to the emulsion, and the upper paper-ply is peeling at the corners.
On the reverse, the photographer has annotated '187N'[circled] and 'Top' in pencil.
There is an Art Advisory Services, Inc. label on the reverse of the frame.
When examined under ultraviolet light, this print does not appear to fluoresce.
Provenance:
Collection of David van Riper
El Mochuelo Gallery, Santa Barbara
Light Gallery, New York
Staley-Wise Gallery, New York
Acquired from the above in 1998 by the present owner
