This ferrotyped gelatin silver print, on glossy single-weight paper with margins, is in generally excellent condition. Typical of the ferrotyping process, there are scattered hairline scratches and tiny impressions that do not detract from its overall fine appearance. Only visible in raking light are the following: several scattered linear impressions, soft handling creases, and traces of fingerprints. There are several soft handling creases in the lower margin edge. The margin corners are bumped and creased. On the reverse, the following are written in pencil in unidentified hands: '9270-E'; 'SFMOMA94.285'; and '18.' Sold framed.

Please note: The San Francisco Museum of Modern Art label on the reverse of the mat indicates that this work was a Fraction Gift of Shirley Ross Davis to SFMoMA. The Estate of Shirley Ross Davis has confirmed that this work is owned by the Estate and is able to be sold at this time.
