Condition
Inscribed indistinctly and dated 1920 in pencil on the verso. In good condition overall, with numerous pinholes, some slightly torn, around all the edges. Hinged to the mat with tape at upper corners. Slight surface dirt with studio staining especially on the verso. Very faint mat stain visible about 1/2 inch in from the edges. The blue crayon lines seems in places to be rubbed and/or pressed into the paper surface rather than drawn. Lower left corner is torn with a small loss and there is a nick to the paper near the lower left corner. Otherwise fine.
