Condition

This early print, on medium-weight paper with a surface sheen, is in generally good to very good condition. The margin corners are bumped and creased, most noticeably at the lower left corner, not affecting the image. Two small, faint deposits that do not affect the image are visible along the center right margin edge. A few tiny white specks are visible in the negative. In raking light, soft and sharp handling creases of varying sizes are visible in the margins and image, none of which breaks the emulsion or detracts from the attractive quality of this early print.
In response to your inquiry, we are pleased to provide you with a general report of the condition of the property described above. Since we are not professional conservators or restorers, we urge you to consult with a restorer or conservator of your choice who will be better able to provide a detailed, professional report. Prospective buyers should inspect each lot to satisfy themselves as to condition and must understand that any statement made by Sotheby's is merely a subjective qualified opinion.
