Opening: $45 Hammer Price: $550 SOLD Skylight Gallery 24 March 2007

CDV-format albumen print of an wealthy Asian's hand with very long fingernails. Inscribed on reverse in pencil "Main d'un riche annonite."   ( Inventory# ia784 )

I believe the notation on reverse of card was intended to read "...riche annamite" -- i.e., "Hand of a rich Vietnamese."
