Original black-and-white group portrait photograph taken on the occasion of a staff presentation to Edmond D. Coblentz at the San Francisco Examiner. Mounted on white matboard. About fifty-two sitters are in the photo. The setting is an editorial newsroom. A desk with a typewriter and a bunch of papers on top is in the foreground toward the right. Printed at the bottom of the photo is the title and the following text identifying the photographer: "R. J. Waters & Co., 717 Market St." Matboard: 13 3/4" x 7 3/4." Photo: 12" x 6 1/2." Matboard is very clean and intact except for light age toning and minuscule bumping to corners. Photo is mostly clean and intact but has several wrinkles and chips on the left and right edges. The largest chip measures about 1/2" x 1/2" and affects a small part of the photo. The scratches and wrinkles on the right extend from top to bottom but only affect one of the sitters. A wrinkle on the left affects two of the sitters. The rest of the photo is very clean and unmarked. A Good copy.
