Additional Details



A wonderful silver print with Curtis's distinctive printed border. THe print is evry lightly age-darkened overall but it even and not distinctive. An ink copyright symbol appears in the lower left corner of the image and Curtis's ink signature is below the image on the right. The simple batwing frame has some chipping. The orignal paper backing was partially torn and the label and the tear have been inexpertly repaired with "Scotch" tape.
