flush-mounted, 1930s

This contact print, on lush toned matte-surface paper, is in generally very good condition. The following are visible at the edges: faint uneven yellowing and minor edge chipping, notably along the right edge. The reverse is faintly age-darkened and soiled. 'ILY' and '254' [circled] are written in an unidentified hand in pencil on the reverse. The print is hinged to the mat, on the reverse of which is a Bruce Silverstein Gallery, New York, label..
