Description
- Edward Weston
- 'SHELL AND ROCK ARRANGEMENT'
- Gelatin silver print
mounted, initialed and dated in pencil on the mount, signed, titled, numbered, and annotated 'On "Weston Beach" where Ruth, E. W. and others had a holiday,' in pencil on the reverse, 1931, probably printed in the 1940s (Conger 655; Maddow, p. 135; Supreme Instants, pl. 90)
Provenance

Condition
This print, on paper with a slight surface sheen, and on a smooth, cream-colored mount, is in generally excellent condition. In raking light, a few faint scratches and tiny deposits of original retouching are visible. These are negligible and do not detract from the overall attractive appearance of the print.
There is age-darkening at the periphery of the mount.
