Condition
Examination in a raking light reveals the print to have suffered a few light handling marks over time. One of these, in the lower left corner, has cracked the emulsion. Print corners and edges are lightly worn. One instance of spotting on the reverse of the print is visible on the recto (approx. 4mm in diameter) towards the centre of the left print edge. The print does not fluoresce under UV light.
