This print is in very good to excellent condition. Visible in raking light in the upper left quadrant of the image is a sharp crescent-shaped crease that does not appear to break the emulsion. Also visible are various other soft small creases. There is a tiny abrasion to the top layer of emulsion on the left margin edge.
On the reverse, the print is annotated '02304' in an unidentified hand in pencil, and there are light fingerprints along the periphery. This print is an unnumbered print from the edition of 75 printed by Neil Selkirk.
A Fraenkel Gallery, San Francisco, label is on the reverse of the frame.
