warm-toned, initialed 'EW,' likely by Edward Weston, in pencil on the reverse, 1930s

Frank H. Boos Gallery, 1 February 2001, Lot 810

This photograph is on double-weight, warm-toned paper with a semi-glossy surface. It is trimmed to the image, and is essentially in excellent condition. When examined closely, a few white specks can be seen in the image; these are due to defects in the negative and are not condition issues in the print itself. There is age-appropriate silvering on the periphery.
