Visible upon examination are: 3 ½-inch crescent-shaped handling creases in the lower quadrant and middle left edge of the print; occasional linear scratches and indentations that do not break the emulsion; and the photographer's retouching throughout. On the reverse are 7 small strips of linen tape remains at the upper and lower edges that do not affect the image. Also on the reverse is '3089/corlretyne' written in pencil in an unidentified hand.
