Condition
This photograph, on light- to medium-weight paper with a surface sheen, is in generally very good to excellent condition. There is some wear at the margin edges, with minor rippling at the right edge. In raking light, small soft and sharp handling creases are visible in the margins and at the left side of the image, as well as a vertical, ladder-like band of rippling in the paper, center right, that likely occurred during processing. It is not visible at a normal viewing distance.
