This early print, on medium-weight paper with a surface sheen, is in generally very good to excellent condition. The margin corners are bumped and the lower right corner is creased. There is an area of stray exposure at the lower margin edge of the print. In raking light, a number of very small, soft handling creases not breaking the emulsion are visible in the margins and at the left side of the print. These are negligible and do not affect the print's attractive appearance.
