A tiny deposit of original retouching is visible upon close examination in the lower left corner of the image. Along the lower print edge are very faint fingerprints. On the reverse, the annotation '#479' has been written, possibly by the photographer, in ink. -Lisa Lyon with hand: The photograph has been titled, dated, and numbered in an unidentified hand in pencil on the reverse. Fraenkel Gallery, San Francisco, labels are on the reverse of the frames.
