Condition
This print is in generally very good to excellent condition. Upon close examination, the following are visible: a few tiny deposits of retouching; 3 matte deposits of indeterminate nature in the lower right quadrant; a very small crease to the tip of the upper left corner of the print, which appears to break the emulsion slightly; and two small, soft, round impressions that do not break the emulsion in the lower left quadrant. None of these issues are immediately apparent.
