'2B' - In raking light, a 3-inch vertical surface scratch that does not appear to break the emulsion is visible in the upper left quadrant of the image. The upper left edge of the print is bumped and there is a 2-inch crease that extends from the upper print edge and does not appear to break the emusion. '2C' - The upper left corner of the print is creased. '2D' - The center left edge of the print is bumped and creased.
