There is a small scratch in the plate on the subject's left leg. There is some faint corrosion in the upper right quadrant of the image. There is very minor tarnishing at the periphery of the image, and some very faint abrasions from the plate shifting against the mat. The girl's face is somewhat blurred due to slight movement during exposure.
