Condition
This print is generally in excellent condition. The print is very slightly rippled in the upper portion of the image. In the right margin, the following is visible upon very close inspection: a one-inch linear scratch close to the edge of the paper, and some very faint, scattered soiling. In raking light, subtle deposits of original retouching are visible in the lower left quadrant of the image.
There is a Lowinsky Gallery, New York, label on the reverse. This photograph was purchased from Lowinsky in 1993.
