With Gerson's pencilled signature to lower right hand side of backing board, and the initials FBIPP (Fellow of the British Institute of Professional Photographers). To rear, Gerson's stamp, with details of the event. No limitation mentioned. The frame measures 35x35.75cm and the visible image is approx. 20x22.5cm.
