ferrotyped, mounted, signed, titled, and dated in pencil and with a typed title label on the reverse, framed, 1978

This ferrotyped print, on a mount, is in generally very good to excellent condition. In the central sky area, small, faint scratches are visible. The tips of the upper and lower right corners appear to be lifting slightly from the mount. When examined in raking light, issues typical of the ferrotyping process are visible: an extremely faint vertical line in the central portion and some small pitting of the shiny surface. There is very slight age-darkening at the edge of the mount, and there is a faint tide-line in the lower portion of the mount above the edge. These do not affect the print in any way. There is a Yancey Richardson Gallery, New York, label on the reverse of the frame.
