Dear Professor Walker,
This print was framed, so I took it out of the frame and took these shots. My aunt said she bought this in 1958. She was a stewardess for TWA, so it is possible she bought it in Tokyo.
The print is titled "No 108" and says -56 and I believe it is from 1956. It is 17/20. The only "damage" is small crease running along the right hand side from the shoulder into the cheek. It has been framed and hung in my aunt's home for over 30 years, that I can recall.
Anyway, it has some notations on the back and a wrinkle on the front and some remnant stickers on the border. I've tried to photograph these.
The actual print size is 8 inches by 12 inches. The border is just about 3/4 of an inch.
Thanks,
Margaret |
