This photograph is in generally very good condition. The corners are bumped, and there is wear at the margin edges. There is a pinpoint area of discoloration in the upper left quadrant near the center of the image. In raking light, various soft handling creases and soft concave indentations are visible. The print is annotated 'WE 15081 [crossed out, then above:] 14316' in an unidentified hand in pencil on the reverse.
