signed 'Peter the Beard' and dedicated in ink on the image, circa 1968, probably printed later

Gift of the photographer to the present owner

This print, on double-weight paper with a surface sheen, is in generally excellent condition. Its margin edges are slightly rubbed, and the lower edge and upper right margin corner have small creases. When examined in raking light, soft creases that are not particularly apparent except by close examination are visible. On the reverse, there is slight age-darkening at the edges. The dedication, in black ink, reads: 'Salaama mama. . . 4 Sandy @ Dove Meadow (+ throw one to Poopsie!) X X X X Peter the Beard.'
