'ARIZONA U. S. 66' (CAR ACCIDENT, BETWEEN WINSLOW AND FLAGSTAFF)

gelatin silver print, signed, titled, and dated in ink on the image, 1955, probably printed in the 1960s
image: 8¼ by 12¾ in. (21 by 32.4 cm.)

Condition Report:
This print, on double-weight paper with a surface sheen, delivers great depth of detail and nuanced tonality. It is in generally excellent condition. When examined closely in raking light, the following are visible: a 1/2-inch crease at the lower edge of the image which does not appear to break the emulsion; and a few tiny translucent spots in the margins, possibly dried liquid deposits. There is insignificant margin wear.

On the reverse there is a very small abrasion along the lower edge. The following are written in unidentified hands in pencil: '7-222'; '268'; '3653'; and '1799.'

Provenance:
