Ruth Bernhard's *Gift of the Commonplace* is a refined limited-edition portfolio print, numbered 32 from an edition of 40, and signed by the artist in pencil in the margin. The verso carries meticulous documentation including the title, date, copyright notation, and print date, reflecting Bernhard's careful attention to the archival integrity of her work. Each print is elegantly housed within a Chinese stitch-bound folder featuring letterpress title and artist's statement, and enclosed in a black silk-covered slipcase distinguished by the photographer's initials blindstamped into a silver leaf emblem.
