Titled, in ink, on verso. Photographer's "Bill Brandt" stamp on verso.

Believed to be the only vintage print.

This heavily over-worked print was exhibited in Bill Brandt: Shadow & Light, (New York: The Museum of Modern Art, 2013).

Extensively overworked by Brandt in ink and pencil. The overworking is so overt and strange at the end of the path that this print much surely have been the one used for later copyprints of this image.

This photograph is discussed by Brandt in the celebrated BBC interview for Master Photographers (1983)

This photograph is amongst Brandt's most abstract and most mysterious, providing a path for several later British photographers, including Paul Hill, whose Diagonal Stones, Matlock, Bath (1975), also in the Hyman Collection, exploits a similiar path by diagonally bisecting a mysterious landscape.
