Paul Outerbridge, Jr.
PAULA IN WIG
platinum print, mounted to debossed card, the photographer's estate stamp on the reverse, 1924 (A Singular Aesthetic, fig. 234) 5 3/4 by 4 5/8 in. (14.6 by 11.7 cm.)
This platinum print, with a pleasing blue tonality, is in overall excellent condition. There is a nearly indiscernible deposit of retouching on the model's raised arm and there is a tiny fox mark in the underarm area.
The debossed mount has a few faint stains, occasional tiny fox-marks, and is slightly yellowed around the perimeter. On the reverse of the mount are tape remains along the upper edge. The estate stamp is numbered '360' in pencil. '779.178 / PO / RG 88.4.4,' '122' (encircled), and '041' (encircled) are also written in an unidentified hand in pencil on the reverse of the mount. There is a small, circular white sticker with typed '19' affixed to the reverse of the mount. In response to your inquiry, we are pleased to provide you with a general report of the condition of the property described above. Since we are not professional conservators or restorers, we urge you to consult with a restorer or conservator of your choice who will be better able to provide a detailed, professional report. 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. NOTWITHSTANDING THIS REPORT OR ANY DISCUSSIONS CONCERNING CONDITION OF A LOT, ALL LOTS ARE OFFERED AND SOLD "AS IS" IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE CONDITIONS OF SALE PRINTED IN THE CATALOGUE.
