Condition
A beautifully made print in excellent condition. One hesitates to use the word perfect in a condition report: one can always find a tiny criticism to make . But this print comes very close to perfect condition for tone, surface, paper and every other attribute. It is an undamaged print in as good condition as it left the photographer's studio.
