Condition

This print, on double-weight semi-glossy paper, is in generally excellent condition. In the lower left quadrant, there is a very small diagonal impression that is barely visible in raking light. In the sitter's hair, there are 2 tiny matte deposits, possibly original retouching. On the reverse of the print are the following notations in pencil: 'MP#19' and 'W532 - 12.'
