1/4 dag of a little boy in the lap of a covered parent or photographer assistant.

Full intact case.. mat stamped, "Gurney, 189 Broadway, NY" in the lower right. The boy's dress is tinted blue, but the tinting is very light... probably more subtle when viewed in hand than my scan and pics show.

Dag is in excellent condition.. no scratches or swipes or major issues. If I look very carefully under magnification there are a few tiny speck sized mat abrasions right up against the mat that I can't see with my naked eye.

The white specks in my unedited cellphone pics are just tiny bits of fuzz on top of or on the underside of the glass.. cleanable. The dag is no longer sealed.

Boxed & signed Priority Mail.
