This photograph is in generally very good condition. There are two small indentations in the upper right quadrant in the tree trunk which break the emulsion. The smaller of these indentations goes through to the reverse. In raking light, a 1/2-inch handling crease is visible in the upper left quadrant, at the left edge of the image. The corners are lightly bumped.
