A vintage gelatin silver print (130 × 96 mm). trifling chip to one corner; two minute abrasions (over the pupils); in excellent condition. In addition to her (contemporary) ink signature on the print, Buttfield has inscribed and signed the verso at a later date… in ballpoint pen ('7 | Nancy Buttfield | Daughter of E.W.H.').
