<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ninabeth, post: 2745695, member: 10268&quot;]I have a 9&quot; x 11.5&quot; (paper is larger) print of Alfred Eisenstaedt&#039;s <i>&quot;Ballerinas in a Dressing Room&quot;</i>, or <i>&quot;Ballerinas Backstage, American Ballet Theater in New York&quot;, 1937</i>&quot;. Prints of this image are not rare, but some older ones are more collectible and valuable than others, and after I doing a (very) little bit of exploration into characteristics of old photographic prints, I thought I would check in here for input.</p><p><br /></p><p>To my tired old eyes, the most noticeable feature of the print is the crackling/crazing on the surface. I was wondering if that could be a lead on the time frame that it was printed?</p><p><br /></p><p>I removed it from it&#039;s damaged, dirty frame to look for any notations on the back, but it&#039;s blank. It has yellowed, which is visible on the paper beyond the image. </p><p><br /></p><p>If it makes any difference, the print had belonged to a person who had other collectible photographs of significant value.</p><p><br /></p><p>Note: My phone cam + the light in my home does not yield super accurate colors in photos!</p><p><br /></p><p>TIA for any input!</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]277917[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]277918[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]277919[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
