On occasion, I will print a negative which I made in the 70's or thereafter. If, as it has been suggested to me by one of our mentors, I date, sign & number & perhaps title my print, I am a bit unsure about this one issue, ie: dating.
I believe I have been doing the right thing which is to date the printed image/mounted in the present (for exhibition or for display on archival matt board) rather than the past (the date the negative was made). Is this correct?
PS: Occasionally, I will make a notation on the back side of the matt board, that the image was taken "way back when", etc.. for "historical" purposes.
