Phillips de Pury & Company New York, 17 October 2007, Sale 40307, Lot 22

This photograph is in generally excellent condition. A small red crayon mark is visible along the upper right edge of the print and a small deposit of indeterminate nature, possibly original retouching, is in the lower left quadrant. Hairline scratches and minor soiling are visible overall, primarily only visible in raking light. The corners are softly bumped and creased, and there is a slight abrasion in the right margin. The reverse is lightly soiled. The 'Print authorized for sale' stamp is annotated as follows in an unidentified hand in pencil: 'November 2003,' 'Julia Dugall,' and 'MAGNUM PRINT ROOM.' '1407' and '17' are also in pencil.
