large-format, signed and titled in ink in the margin, the photographer's 'Robert Frank Archive' stamp, with title, date, annotation, and number '3' in pencil on the reverse, 1956, printed later (The Lines of My Hand, pl. 53)

Lunn Gallery/Graphics International Ltd., Washington, D. C., 1978

This print, on double-weight paper with a surface sheen, is in generally very good condition. The edges are rubbed, the corners are bumped, and the right margin corners are creased. There is soiling on the reverse of the print. The annotation within the Robert Frank Archive stamp is 'Lines of My Hand 53.' When examined with ultraviolet light, this print appears to fluoresce.
