This print, on slightly warm-toned paper with a surface sheen and mounted to cream-colored board, is in generally excellent condition. When examined in raking light, the following are visible: a few tiny deposits of original retouching, a minor soft mounting crease at the upper edge; a very small mounting bubble at the central portion of the print; and a small linear indentation near the upper right corner. The mount's right and lower edges are a bit rough, but this does not affect the print.
