Condition

This photograph, on slightly cool-toned lightly-textured paper, is in generally very good to excellent condition. In high raking light, a few tiny deposits of original expert retouching are visible. The black margin edges are rubbed, particularly along the lower edge, resulting in a few tiny losses. On the reverse of the mount, there are rust-colored deposits along the upper and lower edges. Also on the reverse are the following notations in an unidentified hand in pencil: 'Master,' 'HEB-POR-1468,' '#724,' and 'S-17.'

Prospective buyers should inspect each lot to satisfy themselves as to condition and must understand that any statement made by Sotheby's is merely a subjective qualified opinion.
