Condition

This photograph, which is printed asymmetrically on light- to medium-weight paper with a surface sheen, is in generally good to very good condition. There is some wear at the margin edges, with minor rippling at the right and left edges, soft handling creases in the margins, and bumped and creased upper right and lower left corners. In raking light, soft handling creases and impressions are visible in the image. These are not noticeable at a normal viewing distance.
