toned, the copyright blindstamp on the image, mounted, signed and dated on the mount, framed, 1932

Stripped Bare, p. 58 (this print)

This early warm-toned print, with intense, deep brown/black tones, is on matte-surface paper and is in generally excellent condition. In raking light, light age-appropriate silvering is visible at the periphery. There are several tiny, pinpoint rust-colored deposits of indeterminate nature on the mount. These do not affect the print and are visible only under close examination.
