Condition
This early print, on double-weight paper with a surface sheen, is in generally excellent condition. The top edge was trimmed with a straight edge, as was Friedlander's practice at this time. The margins are wide (about 2 7/8 inches). The edges are rubbed, and the corners are bumped, with tiny losses and minor creasing.
