This early print, on carte postale trimmed to the image and with a semi-matte surface, is in generally excellent condition. The upper edge is rubbed, with tiny emulsion loss near the right corner. When examined in raking light, the small areas where the print is hinged on the reverse have rendered the print's surface slightly shiny on the front.
