Condition
This delicately composed early contact print of a 2 1/4-inch negative is in generally excellent condition. The corners are lightly bumped, and there is a 1/4-inch crease at the upper right corner that does not affect the image.
When examined with a black light, this print faintly but perceptibly appears to fluoresce.
