Description
An editioned gelatin silver print by American photographer Duane Michals (1932-). "I could read it clearly in his palm. There would be a terrible tragedy. My love could not protect him" from Homage to Cavafy Series, published in 1978. Gelatin silver print, hand-written titled on the lower margin. Signed and numbered 8/25 in ink on the bottom of the sheet (as shown). 3 1/2 x 5" for the image size. Displayed in a brand-new black wood archive frame with museum glass.
