This photograph is in generally excellent condition. There is slight creasing in the lower left edge of the linen margin, which likely occurred during the mounting process. This does not affect the image. The mount is in generally excellent condition. The edges of the dry-mounting tissue extend approximately 1/2-inch around the image. The linen is affixed to dry-mounting tissue which is then mounted to board.
