Condition
This photograph is on double-weight paper with a glossy surface and is essentially in excellent condition. Visible in high raking light is a one-inch area of original retouching in the upper right quadrant. This is unobtrusive. There is some very faint cockling of the surface at the top edge, due to the glue used by Hagemeyer to attach the print to the mount. None of these issues detracts in a significant way from the lovely appearance of this sensitively-rendered print. The tan mount is somewhat age-darkened.
