Condition

This warm-toned early print, on heavy paper with a matte surface, is in generally very good to excellent condition. The edges are rubbed, and there are tiny losses at the tips of the upper right and lower left corners. When examined in raking light, silvering is visible at the periphery. On the reverse of the print, there is a numeric label in red ink--'52492,' as well as a penciled upside-down 'v' that is circled.
