Great. I'm pleased. I like the face-to image better than the Whistler's Mother-like image and I am pleased that the copy was made by Abbott in her Maine studio. Best regards, David

Frank, She's facing the camera directly. The provenance data claims that the print I have was made in the 60's or 70's. The NYT article that discusses the photograph refers to copies "authorized" in the 80's. The one I have is said to have been made by Abbott, not authorized. This suggests that the image had a long history. FYI, the reference to the NYT article is p. A15, Saturday, Feb. 10, 2001. It is by Sarah Boxer titled "Of Prints and Process: THe Science Behind Art"
