William Christenberry

dye-transfer print, signed, titled, and editioned '1/25' in ink and stamped on the reverse, 1981, printed in 1983 (Southern Photographs, p. 125)

This print has not been viewed out of the frame. The print, which retains its saturation with no apparent fading, appears to be in generally excellent condition. When examining the print in raking light, 2 extremely faint parallel vertical indentations are visible in the central sky area. There is an image on the back of the frame showing the written and stamped information on the reverse of the print. The photographer has signed, titled, and editioned the print, and the stamps read as follows: 'Christenberry,' 'Dye Transfer,' 'Printed____,' and '1983.'
