Description
- Henri Cartier-Bresson
- 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 with a slightly pebbled surface, 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 area underneath the signature in the margin is faintly yellowed. There is subtle rippling to the upper and lower margin edges.
'P45' and '220' are written in an unidentified hand in pencil on the reverse.
