SIGN UP or LOG IN

Condition:

Warm-toned print on matte single weight paper without margins. Grading this print's tones on a scale of 1 to 10, 10 being a print with deep brown dark tones and highlights that retain all of their original detail -- this print rates a 9. A few areas of retouching, likely original, faintly visible upon close examination. There is some very faint yellowing in the sky area, which is minor and does not detract from the overwhelmingly fine appearance of this print.
