Notes on this view:

This 1970s studio portrait has neutral image tones with warm white highlights due to a warm colored paper support. This is referred to as "tint". Manufacturers created papers with subtle warmth in the highlights, as seen here, by adding dyes to the paper base and/or the baryta layer, or using the natural color of the raw paper base.

The print has standard 5x7-inch dimensions. Also, notice the white border surrounding the image, this was created by the blades of the easel that was used to hold down the photographic paper during enlargement.
