Sotheby's accepts no liability beyond what is set out in Sotheby's Conditions of Sale and Terms of Guarantee.

Sotheby's guarantees the Authorship of all lots for a period of five years. For a complete statement of the Terms of Guarantee please review the Conditions of Sale full size Full Size Image (43.2 by 58.4 cm.) oversized, mounted, signed in pencil on the mount, the photographer's Carmel studio stamp (BMFA 11), with title and date in ink, on the reverse, 1944, probably printed between 1973 and 1977 CONDITION REPORT This print is in generally good to very good condition. The upper right corner of the print is lifting from the mount. A soft crease that does not appear to break the emulsion has formed in the same area. In raking light, the following are visible: a few glossy deposits (possibly glass offsetting); an approximately 6-1/2-inch faint linear scratch at the center of the print, as well as a few smaller scratches, mainly in the right portion of the image, none of which appear to break the emulsion; and 2 tiny impressions in the lower-center which do not appear to break the emulsion. There is some minor chipping to the upper edge of the print, near the left and right corners. There is minor soiling on the front and reverse of the mount. Karen Haas's and Rebecca Senf's book, 'Ansel Adams in the Lane Collection,' publishes the most comprehensive list to date of the studio stamps and labels Adams used throughout his career. Our dating of this print is based upon the authors' assessment of the use dates of stamp 11 on the reverse of the mount: 1973 through 1977.In response to your inquiry, we are pleased to provide you with a general report of the condition of the property described above.
