Acquired by the present owner from the above

This photograph, on a cool white, semi-matte paper, is in generally excellent condition. Visible in raking light, in the lower right quadrant, is a small, 1/2- by 1/4-inch, area where the print has a high gloss, likely glass off-setting. On the back of the mount, a small triangular piece of linen tape is adhered to each corner. The reverse of the print is annotated in pencil in modern hands: 'RMG-M8704.0051-C,' 'FV.30.40.D,' and 'RM.370.Y.'
