    Details:
    This press print was made under permission of the photographer's estate to promote a LIFE Magazine photo exhibition held in New York from November 11, 1984 to January 13, 1985. It is over 35 years old and was intended for circulation to media organizations who requested it for publishing in newspaper and magazine articles or television broadcast. It was not made from the original negative, but instead from a master negative made specially for making multiple prints that consistently looked the same. On the back of the print is a caption detailing the exhibition with date and image info.
    Double weight, fiber base, semi glossy gelatin silver print.
    - Photo date: 1954

    This pint is in good condition with only a few minor condition issues. This includes tape marks on the reverse and a spot in the lower left portion of the reverse where a sticker was removed. The image is also lighter at the bottom and retouching brush marks can be seen in some parts of the image.
