Frederick H. Evans

platinum print, mounted at all 4 corners to gilt-bordered card, flush-mounted to another card, on a secondary textured mount with the photographer's monogram blindstamp, his letterpress bookplate on the reverse, framed, circa 1905

Acquired by the present owner from the photographer's son, Evan Evans, 1973

This finely detailed print, with blue-green tonality, is in generally excellent condition. There is very insignificant wear along the lower print edge. The gilt-bordered mount is separating from the mount at the lower right corner. On the reverse of the secondary mount, there are two small hinge remnants. The numbers '14200' and '73.43.17' are written in an unidentified hand in pencil on the reverse.
