Britt Salvesen, Harry Callahan: The Photographer at Work (Tucson: Center for Creative Photography, 2006, in conjunction with the exhibition), fig. 24

This photograph is in generally excellent condition. When the print is examined out of its frame, slight wear at the edges can be seen, which has resulted in small chipping in the emulsion at the upper left edge and a 1/4-inch square chip into the emulsion at the lower right edge, which appears to be retouched. A barely visible 1/4-inch nick in the lower left quadrant breaks the emulsion. A small area of discoloration in the center of the image has been expertly retouched.
