NOTE
Weston's '4S' annotation on the reverse of the photograph offered here indicates that it is the fourth negative in Weston's celebrated series of shell studies. Weston's negative log, now in the collection of the Center for Creative Photography, Tucson, indicates that Weston made only 4 prints of this image. It is believed that a vintage print of this image has not been offered at auction before.
