This photograph, on warm-toned, matte-surface paper, is in generally very good to excellent condition. In raking light, and upon close inspection, a number of very small surface scratches, each less than 1/8-inch, are visible in certain areas of the print. A faint amount of silvering is visible in the darkest areas of the print. The photograph is mounted to a cool white board. The mount has a couple of very small soiling marks that are visible only upon close inspection.
