Description

  • Siphnos, Greece
  • gelatin silver print
signed in ink and blindstamped in the margin, 1961, printed later (Cartier-Bresson: Photographer, pl. 45)

Condition

This print, on double-weight paper, is in generally excellent condition. As is typical of Cartier-Bresson's later prints, a few, scattered deposits of original retouching are visible in raking light. The right margin edge is very lightly rippled. There are some tiny deposits of indeterminate nature on the reverse.
