gelatin silver print, the photographer's credit/copyright/reproduction rights stamp on the reverse, 1964, printed later

Condition

This gelatin silver print is in generally excellent condition. Upon close examination in raking light, a few scattered deposits of original retouching are visible. Extremely faint warm-toned discoloration is visible in isolated areas in the lower right portion image. The margins are very slightly rippled, and the margin corners are lightly bumped. On the reverse, the stamp is as follows: 'NO REPRODUCTION RIGHTS © FRANCESCO SCAVULLO.' Also on the reverse are some yellow adhesive remains in the lower left portion. 'SCV-00012' is annotated in an unidentified hand in pencil in the lower right portion on the reverse.
