Philadelphia Museum of Art, Minor White: The Circle, The Square, The Triangle, January - February 1970

This photograph, on double-weight semi-glossy paper, is in generally excellent condition. In raking light, a few deposits of original retouching are visible overall. There is a tiny impression that does not appear to break the emulsion near the lower edge. The print is trimmed to the image, and there is chipping along the lower edge. On the reverse of the print, '1980-98-67' is written and crossed out in pencil. The photograph is hinged to a mount. The mount is affixed on the reverse at each of its corners to a modern mat.
