Condition
This unique large-format Polaroid print is in generally excellent condition. The lower margin is unevenly trimmed, as is typical of large-format Polaroid print, and there is a one-inch horizontal crease near the print's edge that breaks the emulsion. Upon close examination, there is a tiny red deposit of indeterminate nature on the sitter's chin.
