signed, titled, and dated in pencil on the reverse, circa 1940 (A Way of Seeing, pl. 32)

Acquired from the photographer

This print, on single-weight paper with a slight surface sheen, is in generally excellent condition. There is minor edge chipping, particularly at the upper margin and lower edge of the image, with tiny attendant losses of emulsion. On the reverse, the following are annotated in an unidentified hand in pencil: 'LM,' 1 of 3,' 'f,' and a star shape. There is some light soiling near the upper edge on the reverse. The print is curling slightly. When examined under ultraviolet light, this print does not appear to fluoresce.
