mounted, signed in pencil on the mount, the photographer's Maine studio stamp on the reverse, framed, 1932, printed later (Steidl, Vol. II, cover, frontispiece, and p. 35)

This print, on paper with a slightly pebbled texture, is in generally very good to excellent condition. In raking light, 3 small creases, that likely occurred during dry-mounting, are visible in the upper central portion of the image. There is very faint darkening of the mount at the image periphery. The photographer's studio stamp on the reverse of the mount reads as follows, 'Photograph / Berenice Abbott / Abbott, Maine 04406.'
