Condition
This photograph is in generally very good condition. There is a thin 1/2-inch black line in the upper right quadrant, extending into the forehead of the woman with white hair, that is in the negative; this line has been retouched out of prints that are reproduced in various editions of 'The Americans.' The tonality of this print is warm throughout, possibly due to an irregularity in the original developing process. There is a pencil-point indentation in the upper right quadrant that is visible in raking light and does not break the emulsion.
