Condition
This early ferrotyped print, on double-weight paper, is in generally excellent condition. The edges are very lightly rubbed. In high raking light, pinpoint indentations are visible at the top center near the edge, and in the lower portion of the print, as well as extremely faint scratches on the surface that are often present in ferrotyped prints. These do not detract from the print's appearance.
