Condition

'''Mr. Steps,'' Union City, N. J.' This photograph is on paper with a very glossy surface. As is typical, and expected, with Graham's photographs, this print appears somewhat faded, with slightly less than fully-saturated colors. It is in excellent condition. This print is signed, titled, and dated in pencil on the mount. 'Tudor-Style New Housing Development, Staten Island, New York.' This photograph is on paper with a matte surface. As is typical, and expected, with Graham's photographs, this print appears somewhat faded, with slightly less than fully-saturated colors. Visible upon close examination in raking light is a deposit of indeterminate substance in the sky area. There is a faint crease near the upper left corner that does not break the emulsion. Otherwise, the photograph is in fine condition. This print is signed, titled, and dated in ink on the mat.
