This vibrant Polaroid print is in generally excellent condition. In high raking light, a scattering of tiny disturbances to the glossy surface is visible overall. There is a small handling crease in the upper margin of the print. The upper and lower print edges are unevenly trimmed and there are tack holes in the corners, as is typically seen in large-format Polaroid prints.
