Condition
This early print, on paper with a light surface sheen and on off-white board, is in generally very good to excellent condition. Upon close examination, tiny deposits of retouching, likely original, are visible throughout the image. In raking light, some age-appropriate silvering is visible in the dark areas of the stem.
In the upper right corner of the mount, the number '10' is written in an unidentified hand in pencil. There are a few stray light graphite marks and fingerprints at the periphery of the mount.
