gelatin silver print, flush-mounted, signed, dated, and editioned 3/10 in ink and with the photographer's credit and reproduction rights stamps on the reverse, framed, 1988, printed in 1989

This print is in generally excellent condition. There is a linear scratch in the center right margin which appears to break the emulsion and extends very slightly into the image. The margins are slightly discolored overall, particularly near the edges and corners. There is faint soiling near the upper right margin corner. The upper margin edge is bumped and chipped in a few places. There are 2 tiny tears in the margins, one in the upper margin and one in the lower margin. The reverse is faintly soiled and there are 4 linen tape remnants along the left and right sides. The photographer signed and dated the reverse of the print '1989' and annotated the printing information stamp in ink as follows: Edition No. '3/10'; and Date Taken '1988'; Date Printed '1989.' There is an Erizan, Inc., mounting label affixed at the center.
