mounted, signed in pencil on the mount and again on the mat, framed, circa 1948, printed in the 1960s

Acquired from the photographer by the present owner while a student at the Rhode Island School of Design in the 1960s

This photograph, on double-weight, semi-glossy paper, is in overall excellent condition. Upon close inspection, there is a tiny impressions at the center left and two scuffs that appear slightly matte in the lower right quadrant. The print is dry-mounted along its upper portion so that the reverse cannot be fully inspected. There are framing notations in pencil on the reverse. There is some soiling on the mount. The mount and the mat are slightly age-darkened. This print appears to fluoresce when examined under ultraviolet light.
