Condition

This silver print is in good condition. Corners very slightly bumped, tiny chip to upper edge, a couple of faint handling marks in the margin visible under raking light, all of which are not affecting image. A faint half moon handling crease in centre of print and some small glue residues in upper left quadrant, only visible under raking light. Some tiny white specks in the negative. An iconic image with nice tones and contrasts.
