Condition

This photograph, on double-weight Agfa paper, is in generally excellent condition. When examined closely in raking light, the following are visible: barely discernible uneven silvering in the darkest areas of the print; scattered deposits of original retouching; a small impression in the upper left quadrant; and 2 tiny creases that do not appear to break the emulsion: one in the upper center and one in the lower right quadrant. The margins are very slightly darkened in a thin band at the periphery of the image. The left and right margins are softly rippled, and there is minor wear to the margin edges. There are 2 linear adhesive deposits near the photographer's signature in the lower margin. There is faint soiling on the reverse.
