Provenance:
Christie's New York, April 24, 2006, lot 288 (for one of these images)
Each a neutral toned print, the first (Untitled, main illustrated image) on semi-gloss, double-weight paper with black borders and margins; the second Company Houses For Miners, Masontown, near Preston County, W. VA) on doubleweight paper, trimmed to edges - this an earlier printing than the first image and bears a typed caption label; and the third Scott's Rim Mining Camp a vintage print on mid-weight, ferrotyped paper with black borders and margins.
First two images in overall very good/ excellent condition. The first has a minute circular spot in the negative, visible under close inspection only and not affecting the image; the second, unblemished; and the third with small, fine hairline fissures - right edge (just under drying laundry), top left edge just into image; lower left and right corners creased; tiny scratch by main tree; two minute dings on either side of tree at top edge; and very insubstantial handling depression center left - all visible in a raking light only. Each print a wonderful study by Evans in overall good/ very good condition. Each sold matted and unframed.
