Condition

This print is in generally excellent condition. Upon close examination, near the left edge of the print, there is a one-inch horizontal crease that may have occurred prior to or during dry-mounting. Also visible are a few pin-point-sized impressions. None of these appear to break the emulsion. Visible in raking light in the upper left quadrant is a small raised area, likely particles trapped between the print and the mount during dry-mounting. On the reverse of the print, 'XVII' is written in an unidentified hand in pencil.
