mounted, signed in pencil on the mount, a Carmel studio stamp, with title and date in ink, on the reverse, framed, 1960, printed in 1978 (400 Photographs, p. 379)

This photograph is in generally excellent condition. The upper left corner of the mount is bumped. On the reverse of the mount, the annotation 'I.125.1' is written in the bottom right corner in an unidentified hand. The Carmel stamp on the reverse is not recorded in Karen Haas's and Rebecca Senf's book, 'Ansel Adams in the Lane Collection.' Notations within the stamp on the reverse of the mount indicate that this print was made in January 1978.
