When the Good Retouchers Go Bad -


 Group of Nine Smith College Northampton Graduates - 1900s Cabinet Photo.

A handsome photo of nine young women in a studio setting with a classical pillars painted backdrop. The women hold black-covered books inscribed in the negative with the words ‘Smith College’, and ‘Zmith College’, the retoucher evidently having some issues with lettering backwards.

Mounted photo. 12”x10” [mount], 8.25”x6.25” [image]. Mount with edge wear, corner crease, minor soil.  $65
