Condition

This photograph is on single-weight paper with a semi-glossy surface. It is in very good condition. When examined in high raking light, one can see a series of faint handling creases. None of these breaks the emulsion. There is some minor warm-toned discoloration on the reverse, not visible in the image. When examined under ultraviolet light, the print appears to glow readily.
