Condition
This print is in generally excellent condition. In high raking light, a few tiny scratches, not breaking the emulsion, and a small raised area, likely a particle trapped between the print and the mount during dry-mounting, are visible.
There are fingerprints on the mount, most noticeably near the upper right edge. The mount edges are lightly worn.
