Condition

This photograph is in generally excellent condition. There is very light wear at the edges of the print, resulting in miniscule emulsion loss at the left edge, which is visible only upon close inspection. In high raking light, very slight silvering is visible along the lower edge of the image. The thick mount may have previously been trimmed. There is a thin periphery of faint sunning on the portion of the mount directly surrounding the image. Light soiling from handling is visible on the reverse of the mount, as is a thin strip of paper tape along its upper edge.

Prospective buyers should inspect each lot to satisfy themselves as to condition and must understand that any statement made by Sotheby's is merely a subjective qualified opinion.
