Condition

This print is in generally excellent condition. Its colors are rich and saturated. In raking light, a faint scratch that does not break the emulsion is visible in the lower right quadrant. In the upper margin, there is a bright orange spot, likely caused by a finger or thumb during processing. It does not affect the primary print area.
