Down the street there is an early Moonrise displayed in really poor
conditions.  Out of the frame, hanging by the matt board, fluorescent
lights, the whole nine yards.  Though the dry mounting is not completely
intact, the print itself looks pretty good, in fact as good as ones I've
seen in galleries (I might think differently if I saw them side-by-side).
Pretty impressive that it lived through all that.
