SOUTH CAROLINA
gelatin silver print, signed in ink in the margin, the photographer's archive and copyright stamps, with credit, date '1979,' and number '2625' in ink, on the reverse, 1955, printed later
image: 8½ by 13 in. (21.6 by 33 cm.)
Condition Report:
This photograph, on double-weight paper with a surface sheen, is in generally very good condition. There is a circular glossy deposit and a black deposit, both of indeterminate nature, in the lower right quadrant. When examined closely in raking light, the following are visible: a few deposits of original retouching; several linear impressions; and a hairline scratch in the upper left quadrant which does not appear to break the emulsion.
In the margins are the following: several tack-holes; a stray red pencil mark in the upper right; and general wear, creasing, age-darkening, and chipping to the edges, most noticeably at the lower right corner.
The reverse is fully covered with a sheet of dry-mounting tissue, which is curling slightly at the corners. '383 [circled]' is written in an unidentified hand in pencil.
On the reverse of the mat are Etherton Gallery, Tucson, AZ, and James Hyman Photography, London, labels.
When examined under ultraviolet light, this photograph appears to fluoresce.
Provenance:
Harry H. Lunn, Jr., New York
G. Ray Hawkins Gallery, Los Angeles
