Note

This lot is accompanied by the poetry pamphlet The Philadelphia Love (with Poetry: Wherefore The Punctuation of the Heart), from the edition of 500, Friends of The Philadelphia Museum of Art, Philadelphia, publisher.

Some light fading. Bottom edge is heavily deckled, with a light deckling to the remaining edges. There is staining associated discoloration to the margins - possible due to probably water damage. Some scattered discoloration, probably due to handling. 1 3/4 in. dark discoloration along the right hand extreme edge in margin. Print is affixed with 3 pieces of tape to top. Discoloration to bottom of page verso from probable water damage. Some discoloration to top edge verso from previous adhesive. Some of the red has gently bled into the green areas in a stream-like bleed – in the center of the ‘O’ and the space between the ‘V’ and ‘E’. See additional photos for illustration. Pinhole-sized white dot to ‘V’. Some darker striation to bottom half of print – maybe result of exposure to water, but generally unobtrusive.

Frame: 34 1/8 x 30 7/8 x 1 in.
