Please note the colors and shades in the online catalogue illustration may vary depending on screen settings.

This print is in generally excellent condition. Visible only under very close examination in raking light are the following: scattered deposits of original retouching; a shallow scratch in the lower right corner; and miniscule chipping at the lower corners. 

The mount is sunned at the print's periphery. The upper mount corners are bumped.  

The reverse is soiled in a few places, primarily in the upper half. There are abrasions and impressions in the upper corners. 'AA/2887' is written in pencil in an unidentified hand.

Although Karen Haas's and Rebecca Senf's book, 'Ansel Adams in the Lane Collection,' publishes the most comprehensive list to date of the studio stamps and labels Adams used throughout his career, the San Francisco studio stamp on the reverse of the present mount is not included. The stamp is similar to BMFA 4, but with postal zone '21' and 'California.' Postal zones with one or two digits followed by the name of the city were instituted in 1943.

When examined under ultraviolet light, this print does not appear to fluoresce.
