Edward Weston (1886-1958)/Cole Weston (1919-2003)

mounted, signed, titled, dated, and numbered '227N' by Cole Weston in pencil and with a 'Negative by Edward Weston/Print by Cole Weston' stamp, on the reverse, 1936, printed later by COLE WESTON from EDWARD WESTON'S negative (Conger 968)

This print is in generally excellent condition. In high raking light, faint silvering is visible in the dark areas at the print's periphery. Upon very close examination, there is a tiny, matte deposit, possibly original retouching, in the upper left quadrant. There is a thin periphery of faint age-darkening on the portion of the mount directly surrounding the image, as well as on the reverse of the mount in the area where the stamp and signature are.
