Condition

This platinum print, made by William Ingram in London, is printed on Arches paper and is tipped to a black linen mount. Though the print has not been examined out of the frame, it appears to be in excellent condition. The paper is somewhat wavy due to the large size of the sheet (25 3/4 by 40 inches) that has been tipped at intervals along the top edge, rather than dry mounted, to the mount. The Time Is Always Now, New York, letterpress gallery label is on the reverse of the frame.
