Grant Mudford

a group of 6 photographs, each signed, titled, dated, editioned, and annotated in pencil on the reverse, 1975-80, each one from an edition of 75 (6)

These photographs, each on double-weight Agfa paper with a surface sheen, are in generally excellent condition. A few crescent-shaped handling creases are visible in raking light. Upon very close examination in high raking light, a few very faint thin lines, likely original retouching, are visible in the upper portion of 3 of the images (Mexico 41/75, Sydney 50/75, Los Angeles 30/75). The margin edges are very slightly curled and rippled, and some of the corners are gently bumped. The edges on the reverse of the photographs are very slightly darkened. The plates are annotated as follows on the reverse: - 'MEX-6/35 41/75 MEXICO 1976-80' - 'OZ-22/3a 50/75 SYDNEY 1977-80' - 'MEX-12/9a 28/75 MEXICO 1976-80' - 'US-247/14 30/75 LOS ANGELES 1976-80' - 'US-257/10a 29/75 LOS ANGELES 1976-80' - 'US-261/37 26/75 LOS ANGELES 1977-80'
