Condition
This print, on double-weight paper with a surface sheen, is in generally excellent condition. There is a very slight wave in the paper, and when examined in raking light, there are two very faint pencil-eraser-sized (3/16-inch) impressions, not breaking the emulsion, in the upper right sky and central areas of the print that are only visible under the closest examination.
