Robert Frank, The Lines of My Hand (Tokyo, 1972), pl. 14.1

This print, on double-weight paper with a surface sheen, is in generally excellent condition. There is slight rippling in the vertical margin edges. The edges are somewhat rubbed, and there are creases in the margins at the top right corner and at the left edge. These do not affect the image. When examined in raking light, a faint, soft crease is visible at the upper left of the image. There is light soiling on the reverse. When examined with ultraviolet light, the print appears to faintly fluoresce.
