Condition
This print is in generally excellent condition. In raking light, there are 2 approximately 2-inch faint surface scratches that do not appear to break the emulsion in the upper left quadrant of the image.
The mount is somewhat bowed. On the reverse of the mount are small light gray-colored areas, possibly due to previous contact with moisture. The annotation 'WG #7' is in an unidentified hand in pencil.
