Condition
The print is generally in good condition. Exposure to light and an acidic mat has darkened the paper tone overall both recto and verso (slightly lighter in the margins). The lower sheet edge has been shaved irregularly for a 5 in long span. The sheet edges verso are backed with brown paper tape running their length and the print has been adhered to the mat using white adhesive tape.
