This gelatin silver print, trimmed to the image and mounted to card, is in generally excellent condition. Upon close inspection, a small deposit of original retouching is visible in the upper right quadrant. The reverse of the mount is appropriately age-darkened and lightly soiled. The lower corners are gently bumped. '47SO' and 'Oceano, 1936' are written in pencil, possibly by Cole Weston; and 'SBG-EWE-0006-C' is written in pencil in an unidentified hand. There are adhesive remnants at the edges.
