Gift of the photographer to the present owner, when students together at the Rhode Island School of Design in the 1970s

This print, on single-weight paper with a surface sheen, is in generally good condition. There is creasing and two small (1/4-inch and 1/8-inch) tears at the right margin edge. Additionally, there is some slight edge wear on the remaining three sides, as well as minor creasing in the left margin corners. When examined in high raking light, there several small handling creases that do not break the emulsion. On the reverse, there is a small, faint rust-colored deposit at the lower edge of the print.
