Condition

This finely-detailed print is in generally excellent condition. The edges of the print have a few very small chips that are visible only upon close inspection. The mount is warm-white and is very slightly age-darkened. The back of the mount is annotated '91811' in pencil in an unidentified hand. When examined with a black light, this print does not appear to fluoresce.
