This rare, early print of one of Ansel Adams' favorite subjects is on warm-tone semi-matte silver gelatin paper, mounted on Crescent Illustration Board. These early special edition prints were conventionally unsigned and wrapped in an envelop with Adams' credit. This print is also unsigned, but lacks the original envelope. Only two other prints of this image are known—one of which is in the CCP. Likely printed prior to 1940, as is indicated by the print type.
