Condition

This print is in generally excellent condition. The left and right margins are slightly rippled. On the reverse, the following is annotated in pencil: '#3 20x24 printed [illegible] 1983.' Based on this annotation, we believe the print date to be 1983. Also written in an unidentified hand in pencil are: 'LF.276.Y' and 'LF 10076C.' The reverse of the print is affixed to the window mat with cloth tape at the upper corners.
