Condition
This early, slightly warm-toned print, on thin Velox paper with a semi-glossy surface, is in generally excellent condition. The corners are lightly bumped, and there are 2 small chips in the emulsion: one in the upper right edge, and the other in the lower left corner. A few tiny white specks in the negative are visible. In raking light, a few soft handling creases and pinpoint indentations are visible, none of which breaks the emulsion. None of these issues detracts from the quality of this rare Weston print.
