My print you mean? It is this one from 1945, taken with an 8x10 view camera.
It is printed to the negative size but is not a contact print.

You can read the technical details from there if interested. I have a very
well printed book (Yosemite and the High Sierra) which contains this
photograph too but of course the print is very best thing to hold and admire



Cheers
