Phillips de Pury & Company New York, 7 October 2005, Sale 40205, Lot 291

These photographs, each on semi-glossy double-weight paper, are in generally excellent condition. On the reverse of some prints, the photographer's signature and edition are robust; on others, however, the signature and edition are more faint. The portfolio includes the printed title in duplicate, one with credit. The album is in generally very good condition, with minor soiling and slight wear to the spine. The slipcase is soiled and scuffed.
