Description
- Ansel Adams
- 'MOONRISE, HERNANDEZ, NEW MEXICO'
- Gelatin silver print
mounted, signed in pencil on the mount, a Carmel studio stamp (BMFA 11), title and date in ink, on the reverse, circa 1941, probably printed between 1973 and 1977 (400 Photographs, p. 175)
Provenance
Sotheby's New York, 18 October 2004, Sale 8018, Lot 7
Condition
This print is in generally excellent condition. There is very light, minor, random soiling on the back of the mount that does not affect the print.
Karen Haas's and Rebecca Senf's book, 'Ansel Adams in the Lane Collection,' publishes the most comprehensive list to date of the studio stamps and labels Adams used throughout his career. Our dating of this print is based upon the authors' assessment of the use dates of stamp 11 on the reverse of the mount: 1973 to 1977.
