Condition
This commanding mural-sized print is in generally very good condition. The photograph has undergone conservation. This conservation was successful, and a treatment report is available upon request. Visible upon very close examination are the following: tiny deposits of retouching; a 1½-inch linear scratch that has been retouched in the upper right portion of the sky; and an area of craquelure in the left portion of the sky. These are insignificant, and are not immediately apparent under normal scrutiny.
This photograph is in a modern black frame and is glazed.
