This photograph is in generally excellent condition. There are a few stray graphite-colored marks along the mount's left and right edges. On the reverse of the mount, light rust-colored fingerprints are visible along its periphery. 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 authors' assessment of the use dates of stamp 11 on the reverse of the print's mount is 1973 to 1977. The ink annotation on the reverse of the mount, 'Not for Sale,' is in an unidentified hand.
