This early print is in generally excellent condition. In raking light, the following are visible: three diagonal scratches at the right of the bottom edge, one 2¼-inch and two ½-inch; two small, half-inch, scratches at the top left corner, all slightly breaking the emulsion. The bottom left corner of the print is starting to lift slightly off the mount. The mount is cream-colored and slightly worn at the edges. The bottom left and top right corners are lightly bumped. When examined with a black light, this print does not appear to fluoresce.
