Condition

This luminous print, trimmed to the image and on glossy single-weight paper, is in generally excellent condition. Upon close examination are the following: a ΒΌ-inch tear that extends from the upper right edge of the image; and a scattering of tiny matte adhesions of indeterminate nature. The corners of the print are bumped, and there is a small loss of emulsion in the lower right corner. There is minor edge chipping along the left, right, and lower edges of the print. The print is tipped along the reverse at the upper corners to a modern mat. Also on the reverse is a small rice paper remnant in the lower right corner.
