Max Vladimirovitch Alpert, 1899-1980

Silver print, bearing the photographer's stamp on the reverse, printed later,  

Likely a copy print. The print has a high gloss surface which shows light and superficial scratching when seen in a raking light. There is a small patch of residual (?)adhesive at the top left corner. Otherwise condition is good.
