Condition

This print, on double-weight paper with a surface sheen and black negative borders, is in generally very good condition. The edges are slightly rubbed, and the corners are bumped. The lower left and right margin corners are creased. When examined in raking light, small crescent-shaped soft creases are visible at the upper left and right edges of the image. These do not detract from the attactive appearance of this print. The following notations are in pencil on the reverse of the print: 'nr. 35' and 'AT CHRISTINE IT IS NR. 20 (circled),' '1700-,' and '1500.'
