Condition

This Cibachrome print is in generally very good condition. The coloration appears vibrant but may have faded with age, notably in the red tonality of the meat in the left portion of the image. The black margins are somewhat lighter at the image periphery. Upon extremely close inspection, some scattered fingerprints and very minor hairline scratches are visible, mostly in the margins. The right and left margin edges are slightly rippled. On the reverse, the edges of the print are faintly yellowed. 'NOT TO BE REPRODUCED!' is written in red crayon on the reverse.
