Ansel Adams

mural-sized, from a Polaroid Type 55 negative, flush-mounted, framed, 1960, probably printed in the 1960s (Morgan & Morgan, pl. 92)

This mural-sized print is in generally good condition. Upon close examination in raking light, several small areas of recent inpainting by a conservator are visible. In the lower right corner, there is a small emulsion loss visible near the barnacle. This print has recently undergone successful conservation, and a treatment report is available upon request. The frame, likely original to the print, is chipped. On the reverse of the frame, '3' is annotated in an unidentified hand in ink.
