Jack Glenn Gallery, Corona del Mar, 1975

This photograph, on paper with a slight surface sheen, is in generally excellent condition. There is a pinpoint-sized white deposit near the lower center of the image. When examined closely in raking light, the following are visible: a few deposits of original retouching; 2 small raised areas (one at the center and one near the left edge); and a circular matte deposit in the lower right quadrant. There is very minor edge wear at the lower left. A thin border of excess dry-mounting tissue is visible on the mount at the periphery of the photograph. The reverse of the mount is unevenly age-darkened.
