Wellman.” Blindstamped in the lower right by photographer Eugene Robert Richee, with the reverse bearing a J. Philip Allen ownership stamp. Tape-repaired tears to top and right edges, slight wear and tack holes to edges, and trivial soiling and surface impressions, otherwise fine condition. Pre-certified PSA/DNA.
