Condition

This print is in generally very good condition. The signature and date are faded, and margin is somewhat age-darkened and possibly sunned. When examined in raking light, tiny deposits of the photographer's original retouching are visible. On the reverse at the top edge, there are two small (less than 1/2 inch) cloth tape remnants, likely from prior mounting/matting.
