Specialist note

The stamps on the verso of this photograph have been identified as M25 and M30 in Steven Manford’s book, Behind the photo: the stamps of Man Ray (2009). According to Manford, M25 is a lifetime stamp used from 1940 to 1951, “the stamp is also found on the backs of photographs Juliet sold to dealers” (pp. 27 & 33) and M30 is a posthumous copyright stamp “numerous photographs sold by Juliet and from the Trust carry an ADAGP stamp” (p. 37).
