Description
- Ansel Adams
- 'Frozen Lake and Cliffs, Kaweah Gap, Sequoia National Park, Ca.'
- Gelatin silver print
mounted, signed in pencil on the mount, the photographer's Carmel studio stamp (BMFA 11), with title in ink, on the reverse, framed, 1932, probably printed between 1973 and 1977 (400 Photographs, p. 93)
Condition
This photograph is in generally excellent condition. In high raking light, the following are visible: a very small raised area in the lower right quadrant, likely a particle trapped between the print and the mount; and a faint, one-inch horizontal impression in the lower left quadrant. There is minute chipping along the upper edge.
The print is mounted to Strathmore blindstamped illustration board. The mount is faintly sunned at the image periphery. The mount is age-darkened along its right edge.
