This vintage enlargement was originally purchased in 1964 by one of Minor White's students at RIT, and is the only known print of this image. The print has remained in the same collection for the intervening 55 years, in the original condition with welded aluminum frame. The resurfacing of this collection represents the discovery of this important image from White's "Steely Barb" sequence, titled after a quote by Charles Baudelaire "there is no more steely barb than that of the infinite". Signed in pencil mount recto (lower right), dated 1961 (lower left).
