Condition Report

The photograph is mounted and the mount is adhered to the overmat. The photograph has warm tones and excellent detail. There are small spots of surface soiling overall, which most often can only be seen in raking light. There is a small crease on the top left corner, most of which is under the overmat. The back of the mount and the overmat are lightly soiled and age darkened.

All items are offered for sale subject to Swann Galleries' standard terms and conditions of sale, which are published in our catalogues.

Notes

Vintage examples of this iconic image are rare both in this size and with Rosenthal's signature. The print is inscribed to G. Lynn Sumner, a successful advertising executive.
