Condition

This contact pigment print, with rich tones and great depth of detail, is in overall excellent condition. In the margins are a few small creases and isolated areas of soiling. There is some wear to the margin edges and there is a tack hole in the upper right margin corner. There are scattered faint areas of discoloration and a few tiny rust-colored deposits, possibly foxing, on the reverse. '4' is written in an unidentified hand in pencil on the reverse.
