Condition
This early print, on paper with a surface sheen and mounted to buff-colored board, is in generally very good condition. There is a tiny chip at the right edge. When examined in raking light, the following are visible: light silvering in the dark areas and at the periphery; an indentation not breaking the emulsion at the upper right edge; two sharp creases at the lower left corner; and 2 small mounting bubbles.
The number '6' (circled) is written in the upper left corner on the reverse of the mount. The reverse of the mount is very lightly soiled.
