This print, on double-weight, semi-glossy Agfa print, is in generally excellent condition. The faintest silvering is visible in the dark areas of the print. Upon close examination, a soft handling crease is visible near the left edge. There is a faint waviness to the upper margin, and a clamp impression in the upper right margin corner. .
The following is written in pencil on the reverse: 'S-65'; 'EM 97'; 'BC'; and 'S-65.16.BH.'
When examined under ultraviolet light, this print appears to fluoresce.
