This early print of Frederick Sommer’s Negative #70, as well as the photographs in Lots 79 and 80, comes originally from the collection of fellow Prescott, Arizona, resident, Charles Tracy (1881-1955), and has remained in the family since. For further information regarding the provenance and an in-depth discussion of this series, please see the catalogue entry for Lot 79.
At the time of this writing, the Frederick Sommer Foundation believes this print may be unique.
