Description
- Brett Weston
- san francisco bay at dusk from hill over ghirardelli square
mounted, signed and dated by the photographer in pencil on the mount, matted, 1938 (Out of the Shadow, p. 31)
Condition
This early print, with slightly warm tones and on paper with surface sheen, is in generally excellent condition. It has been mounted on later mount, and there is an accompanying sheet of paper with the photograph's title, dated, and '8x10 Neg' annotation. In raking light, a faint, small (about ΒΌ-inch) scratch, not breaking the emulsion, is visible in the central sky area.
Neither the photograph nor the mount appears to fluoresce when examined with a black light.
